If someone gets a felony for driving, you don't lose the right to own a car, so it's all about limiting as many people as possible from owning a firearm, period.
@@gottiic6529 Even after revocation, you can still get your license back for the so called "right to drive", but you still can't "legally" own a firearm. In either case, having a license to drive, or a permit to carry a gun is nothing more than the government taking your rights and selling them back to you.
In my state (Wisconsin) a minor can be charged with a felony of child porn production and distribution for sending nudes to their high school sweetheart (who can either be the same age or just a tad older/younger) or whatever and then lose their gun rights as well as register as a sex offender because of that, and the receiver can be charged with child porn possession (again, regardless of age) and have the same thing happen. It's an incredibly fucked up system. Also, the only way to get gun rights restored to a felon in this state is by pardon, and our governor Scott Walker has his head far up his ass and doesn't give out pardons so he can retain his "tough on crime" campaign stance so he can keep getting re-elected. The system is fucked. And people don't realize how fucked the system is. And no legislator will change the system since their re-election hangs on it.
Sonny Gunz... I've been making this argument forever to my fellow "pro gun" friends and family. Yours was more concise/to the point than my arguments though. "Brevity is the soul of wit". Well done.
Yeah I think if you did your time and aren't a crazy person there is no real tangible reason not to restore your civil liberties. All of this is about control and keeping people in poverty. The game is completely rigged.
I know people who have been convicted of a felony who I'd trust more with a gun than some people who haven't been. My question is, if someone is released from prison but can't be trusted with a gun, why are they out of prison?
personallly the state has no authority to trample a unalienable (can't be taken away) right to begin with. felony is their attempt to work their way around the unalienable part. and its horse chit.
Absolutely not. Paying a debt is pretty damn far from showing that you can be trusted. Especially since society has to force you to pay it. Screw criminals, I don't care what their excuse is, they shouldn't have any rights they can't be trusted with. As for voting rights, THOSE should never under any circumstances be tampered with.
Dimetropteryx I think the lady with the fake insurance card should still be able to protect herself. It's obvious law enforcement can't protect us. We can only hope they catch the offender after the crime.
@@TzUuup well its firearms and everything else. I cant get a career because I'm a felon which leaves me with breaking my back to get by. I've tried so many different things and when it gets to that back ground check then it's always the same and I don't qualify. I understand why so many people go back to prison now.
@Micah Shelton oh I have guns. When it comes to defending my family, 3 years in prison is the least of my worries. I just keep them at home and proceed with my life.
Chris Anderson ..... hey bro your not alone.... i spent 8 years in a state penitentiary in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I was convicted of a 2nd degree felony. My first ever offense. Outside of traffic violations. My Lord and my creator governs all my actions. All my beliefs and most of my thoughts. Im certainly not perfect. What im seeing now out on the streets of America breaks my heart. I love this country. I served this country . I went to war for this country. In the end none of that mattered in the court room. Theres a whole book i could write on that alone. The point is.... an honorably discharged veteran is never going to allow any piece of shit that thinks it has some sort of authority dictate to me what i can and can not have. Regardless of what it is.
@@chrisanderson9737 we are on the EXACT same page. Except with the craziness and mass shootings i carry daily in a messenger bag....with my hipster looking ass and the fact that im NEVER doing anything wrong for the last several years....im with you.
At the end of the day, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Even felons have the right to defend themselves, their families, and their country.
@@georgecattell4110 yeah I agree with that have a period where they're not allowed to own guns at all then they're allowed to ease back into it with 22 and such only given that they're not a rapist, murderer, etc
The second amendment says a persons right to bear arms will not be infringed which makes any law that says a person cannot own or carry a firearm, no matter what crime they committed, a violation of The Constitution of the United States. .
False. The Justices of the Supreme Court of The United States are the Final Arbiters of the Constitution, as per the Constitution. This makes such rulings from the Supreme Court lawful, and Constitutional.
@@Nikolai18A wrong that would mean states cannot doing anything which the 10th amendment nullifies ANY UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW I am not bound to obey when it is an act of ursurpation of power
@@tylerb556 I don't know what you're trying to say. The Constitution gives the Supreme Court jurisdiction over matters of Constitutionality. That makes a Supreme Court ruling on a matter of Constitutionality de facto Constitutional Law. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, and the Justices of the Supreme Court are the Final Arbiters of the Constitution. This adds up to their rulings being, by definition, Constitutional. Yes, you are legally bound by the decisions made by SCOTUS, should they apply to you.
Its to late government has to much power only civil war will get are rights back and people are to scared 😱 to fight back the blue people with better gun and more friends so get ready for the camp’s
The Supreme Law of the Land does! The inferior statutes make the exercise of fundamental, individual, "incorporated" rights "illegal". Those laws are NOT "law" at all but instead are known as a "nullity" and are unenforceable in any honorable court in the land. But each American must know their rights and how to defend them.
The Lautenberg Amendment, is way over reaching, I can see and agree that a convicted felon should seek some counseling, before his or her gun rights are returned, but a life time ban is totally unfair. Please don't respond with the adage you should have thought about it before you done it. We all make mistakes in life.
@@Kurio71 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, "except as a punishment for crime" whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. It gets rid of slavery unless you commit a crime. That's how they can take a person's right for the 2a if they commit a felony, even if its non violent. Also it's how the prison system can get away with forcing inmates to work while they make a large profit.
And thank you guys for doing this because I don’t believe my family should be less protective than anybody else because of a mistake I made over 26 years ago
Pretty much. If your a free man, you may bear arms since it is a natural right, if you cannot, you are not free. If someone's too dangerous to have a gun they absolutely should not be in public seeing as you have cars, knives, swords, chemicals, explosives and even an easy means to manufacture a firearm and ammunition, let alone buy one or steal one.
So, what I'm taking away from this, is "I'm some MGTOW-incel variant, because I call myself a Japanese name, comment on gun videos advocating staying single". Go back to your hole.
I got a felony 1week after I had my 18 birthday. I was in my dads car and my brother left a gun in car. I was polled over and cop found gun. My brother went to police station and said it was his. They took us both. I got a felony and 3 years probations . Now can't own gun. U can jump border and have more fights then me. Only in America
Austin France Far as I'm concerned the constitution n bill of rights not up for debate. It clearly states " shall NOT be infringed" therefore these laws are illegitimate. Seems to me some fat cats are due to be dismissed and brought up on charges and punishment of their own up to and including no tax funded armed security guards or pension.
I served in the Marine Corps in an anti-terrorist unit. I recently decided to purchase my first gun, a Ruger 10/22. Here in Minnesota you need a permit to purchase to buy a hand gun. Most people can walk in and buy a rifle or shotgun unless they have a felony. I was denied the purchase of a rifle. The only thing on my record that I can even imagine is the reason. Is when "I" (not her) decided to divorce my crazy brazilian ex-wife, because of her infidelity She threatened that I would come home and find her and my 2 yr old daughter dead on the floor. She threatened at least 10 times she would take my daughter back to Brazil and I would never see her again. As a father protecting his child. I decided to tape record my phone line, to find out if strange men were coming over. Or if she was making flight arrangements to leave the country. The tape recorder was found at some point, not hooked to the phone line anymore. It was in the trunk of my car. I was charged with a gross misdemeanor of Invasion of Privacy/Stalk/Follow/Pursue. For tape recording my own phone line. I did one day of sentence to service (no jail time) I paid a $200 fine. Luckily, the court felt I was just a father protecting my daughter. When I was denied the purchase of this gun. It pissed me off! I am buying guns because I have been out of the Marine Corps since 1997. I just want to have fun target shooting, see if I still have the shooting abilities I was trained with. This was just one of many guns I had wanted to buy. So I sent an E-mail to NICS to find out why I was denied. This is the answer I got, "The specific reason the flag was set could not be determined" "If you wish to challenge the accuracy of the denial, you may submit certified court documents pertaining to the prohibiting record identified above." Ok so if they have no idea why I was denied!? What court documents should I send!? If they don't know why I was denied, then wouldn't sending my court records just give them a reason to find a reason to deny me!? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Luckily, I can buy guns private party. Even better I can build my own Ar's. I wanted to buy a gun, and I wanted the government to know what I have. I don't care! I wanted to be honest about owning these guns. To honest, and forth coming with what I have. Now they pissed me off to the point that I will build my own guns. Then they will have no idea what I have. So I am denied, but the real people in this world who want to commit crimes can get guns! I found how just how screwed up this system is.
I'm a 2A supporter, and a felon. I don't own, however I constantly encourage others to own and carry. It's my personal choice to abide by what standards and laws say I can't carry, and I appreciate all you do to help protect everyday law abiding citizens! Keep it up gents!
The 5th amendment says you can forfeit your rights as long as you receive due process of law. Putting murderers in prison is not an infringement on their right to liberty because they have forfeited that right by murdering someone and the state has given them the chance to defend themselves against that charge and proved the charge beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury of their peers. The loud argument = domestic violence thing is total BS but I am very happy with murderers, robbers, and rapists being prohibited from possessing guns. However restricting the ability of LAW ABIDING people to own or carry guns is absolutely a violation of the 2nd amendment.
+Michael Henriques Yes, this is a passive-aggressive means to convict as many citizens as possible of those offenses that would deny them their Constitutional right to vote and possess firearms.
+Richard Woods 1- This is also not an excuse. You can (the ones that are important or relate to you) so long as you know how to read. Most Americans don't do that thou. How many years do we live ? How come learning about ( you don't have to memorize them letter by letter) laws that relate to your life would be hard to learn ?!
Back in the 1800s when you got out of the old jailhouse the sheriff used to hand you back your pistol didn't matter what you were charged with it's just an excuse to limit Americans for owning more guns.
My 2nd amendment rights trumps any states law! My 2A right was given by our creator an the laws today made by overpowering corrupt non God fearing men! So I guess all I have to say is theirs ways around laws, hence just marry a woman who dont have thoes restrictions against her and give her the $ for your bang stick! Simple! Lol
I have never had even a speeding ticket... No encounters with law enforcement in my life other than hunting/fishing license check and pulled over for having a dead coyote in my truck by a deputy sheriff who after he seen who I was didn't even wanna check my licenses. But anyway every time I buy a firearm I think "Man some of these things are so unfair." I agree 100% with what these guys are saying.
Good information to know. It's crazy knowing that getting into a heated argument with your wife on the back porch, and the neighbor calling the police can strip you of your right to own a gun.. FOREVER.
I have a friend who is a police officer. One night his crazy ex-wife tried to gut him with a butcher knife. He ended up needing 12 stitches to close up his hand from disarming her-- he was bleeding like a stuck pig when the cops got there, and they were about to take him to jail until he produced proof that he was a LEO. Why? His wife's wrist was bruised from him grabbing it to stop her disemboweling him. If he'd been a normal joe, he'd be barred from exercising his right to keep and bear, probably for life, because having your rights restored is not cheap nor guaranteed.
Apologies in advance, just speaking my mind. Sounds unjust to me. If politicians can't beat you with brains, they baffle you with bullshit, it seems. Aka paper shufflers.
Violation of the second. Doesn’t matter, after the lengthy parole after a prison stay if they were good then they should have all restored back to them
DB Stevens a violent repeat offender isn’t going to listen to the law anyway. I’m saying if they serve their tim and make it through the scrutinizing extensive parole their rights should be restored.
DB Stevens you do realize defending yourself in certain instances or your significant others honor may just make you a violent offender. Or that a woman could just say you hit her and overnight you are a violent offender. Our founders believed in when you served your time you were good. Everyone got so high and mighty the last hundred years and let rights go out the window till it effects them and then they cry.
@DB Stevens You have a strange stance on things. Felonies keep getting lower and lower, what used to be a traffic violation (or still is in the military) is considered a felony to us serfs, now. Hopefully you'll gain some life experience, and learn a few things.
DB Stevens oh yea??? Well what about a guy that lived in a state with a no self defense law,and this guy was out fishing one night not bothering anyone and a stranger attacked him,so he defends himself from the attacker,and the attacker got hurt,and he was sent to Prison for it.... Now you are telling me that guy should spend the rest of his life in Prison??? GTFOH,,,oh yea,by the way I am that guy who was fishing that night and went to prison when I was 20 and got out when I was 23,13 years later and I still haven’t been in any trouble
The whole "never give a convicted felon a gun!" thing is bullshit. Violent or not, how long does a guy have to pay for a mistake? Not only gun ownership but every job application "have you ever been convicted of a felony? If yes please explain" no wonder why they end up back in the pen. Smh
***** Pending felons, not yet convicted, can keep/possess guns they already own. And also buy/trade private dealers. They will be denied by federal licensed gun shops while pending, and after conviction (if there is conviction). Once convicted, you'll always be denied and your probation/parole officer will want you to give up previously owned guns (I'd imagine), other than your trusty old (or replica) muzzle loader (sorry, no Thompson Center Fire folks). If no conviction, your rights will be restored after you clear it up. Or, you could just run from the law and remain pending (no one found = no one to convict) until your statue of limitations runs out (not all felonies have limits). Also, not all felonies are extraditable from one state to another = easy to "hide" = just don't go back. .......... so I hear
***** I disagree. Jail time is enough. Besides murder should be taken into consideration, its not so black and white. Say you kill a man who hurt someone you love that's "murder" so you cant lump all crime together. Because thats what our govt is doing and see the results.
Convicted murderers shouldn't be in society. Gun laws are communist and liberals letting out murderers isn't a good argument for gun control unless u admire hitler
99% of crimes committed are not accidents. An accident is making a spelling or grammar error. Committing a crime is a choice...a bad choice but none the less its a choice.
Most convicted felons I know are FAR more moral and honest and TRUST worthy than regular people are! Once a man or woman pay there dept, They PAYED there dept and all is forgiven! Period!
There is a difference between a criminal felon and a law abiding felon. No law has ever stopped a criminal felon from owning a gun, it only stops law abiding citizens, felon or not.
Thank you for addressing this issue guys, I was convicted of a felony at 18 for robbery it was a foolish mistake I am now almost 40 and I'm in the same boat I was back then as far as legally owning or obtaining firearms
Getting my civil rights back as we speak its been 10yrs since discharge im 32 now and everything you said was exactly what happened to me...Call the county law library they will give you all the information you need to restore your civil gun rights its worth it bud especially being it was that long ago! Most likely they give it to you especially if you haven't been in trouble with the law all these years!
Buy modern black powder or even antique firearms would be great for home self defense. Now is it as affective as modern firearms no it’s not but it will serve its purp
You failed in your assumption that the government gives a damn about the constitution. We have a LEGAL system in this country, not a JUSTICE system. There is zero justice in the courts. None.
Half the nation are permanently convicted felons for victimless non-violent offenses, who are PERMANENTLY BANNED from ever possessing a firearm or even a single bullet for life! GUNS should be permanently BANNED in the United States from EVERYONE, not just white-collar NON-VIOLENT felons! (Eventually, everyone shall be permanently and properly banned from possessing a bullet or gun!)
@D Madd11 how does his comment make him stupid? His point is even if you were to buy a gun illegally it doesn't suddenly make it all hunky dory. Not exactly hard to see his point lol
Overall, violent felons probably shouldn't be able to own guns, BUT, if they are safe enough to allow back into society, then why not be able to own a gun legally? If they are not presumed safe enough to own a firearm, why would you trust them to release them back into society where they can access knives, etc.? That doesn't make a lot of sense. As for domestic violence, I don't think that should be a gun-removing law. It's too broad of a definition to enforce properly. It's a good intention law but I don't know how effective it is.
you're wrong dude. this video is wrong as well. it is simply not true that all felons are prohibited from owning guns. if you're convicted of a certain violent felony OR misdemeanor, then you will lose your gun rights. there is a list of crimes which cause this. for some crimes, such as misdemeanors, you only lose your gun rights for 2 years. for other crimes, such as felonies, you lose them for 5 years. however, the VAST MAJORITY of felonies AND misdemeanors are not on this list at all. domestic violence is one of the only misdemeanors that is on the list. most felonies will not result in you losing your gun rights. it only includes violent crimes, serious financial crimes, and serious drug crimes such as dealing large quantities of schedule 1 drugs. so you don't lose your gun rights for committing victimless crimes. if you commit certain nearly-victimless crimes, you only lose your gun rights for a couple years, and you can appeal to have your gun rights reinstated. even if you murder somebody, you can still appeal to have your gun rights reinstated, though you probably won't win.
I just wanted to point out that many violent felons are simply NOT safe enough to be released back into society, but are nevertheless discharged when their sentences are up. Regardless of their crimes or their behavior while incarcerated, felons MUST be released when they have completed their sentences. That is the law. Behavior and the likelihood to reoffend are considered only when inmates are released early on parole. Many states will attempt to parole an inmate whom they know is dangerous, because the parole process allows that offender to be monitored by a parole agent, who can in turn, catch the offender committing another felony while he is subject to monitoring, and get him locked back up again before he can hurt someone. If he flats (completes his full sentence without parole), he can just walk out the door without being legally subject to any monitoring whatsoever. This is why dangerous inmates will often refuse parole. They know they are likely to get busted again while on parole, so they would rather flat their sentences in order to keep from picking up another felony conviction. shmediaproductions is absolutely correct. Different states have different laws regarding whether or not a felon can regain his gun rights. Many states return your gun and voting rights after a certain period of time, or never take them away at all depending on the crime. Domestic violence is the exception. Restricting gun ownership for domestic violence is a federal law. However, in many states (like mine), you do not permanently lose your gun rights for domestic violence, and the state will not enforce the federal law. Therefore, if you live in the right state, you could possibly buy a gun from a private party for use inside your own state. The video was also incorrect about domestic violence arrests. They spoke as if every time the police arrive at at domestic disturbance, someone is going to get arrested, charged, and convicted. This is simply not true! Convictions for domestic violence are actually somewhat rare, because the participants often change their minds or their stories somewhere along the way. Granted, cops will often make an arrest in order to separate individuals who could end up hurting one another, but this seldom results in an actual conviction. Cops will often attempt to convince one party to simply leave the house to avoid having to make an arrest. The odds are slim that you will lose you gun rights for slapping or pushing your spouse. But beat the crap out of them, and yes, you'll probably do time and lose your gun rights for at least some period of time.
***** Sounds like you had a shitty lawyer, or none at all! A fist fight in a bar would almost universally be considered mutual combat not assault. Unless, you beat this guy well beyond a point where he could no longer defend himself and be a threat to you? As far as your unemployment, if you could get a passport almost any construction company in the U.S. would likely hire you as convicted felon.
Thank you for talking about this... it’s not talked about enough. If you catch a drug charge that’s a felony same thing no second amendment for you. This is a horrible law that should be changed. Non violent felons should be able to buy and possess a firearm!!!!!
A group should be formed to write a petition the state local or federal depending who the charge was with a non violent felony should not allow the laws to be infringed and strip citizens of their 2 ammendment rights
@@rl3383 The problem is, what is classified as 'violent'. Far too many crimes are considered violent just to post harsher punishments. You can wreck the shit out of someone with mental abuse and that is not a thing in the courts. If you had a box knife in your pocket you used at work and you get attacked and you win but the attacker ends up with collateral damage... say loses an eye ( and you stopped the attack without pulling the knife), you WILL still be charged with assault using excessive force and when they frisk you, you are now in possession of a deadly weapon. There is no justice in the justice system. Trust me.......... I know.
Not true I had 2 breaking and entering and 2 grand larceny s, a dist of marijuana in 97 then a family domestic charge in 09. And I hamy gun rights and concealed permit and is able to purchase guns for 2 years now
But you're OK with the government stripping some felons of their rights? Where in the Constitution does the government get that power? Can you educate us? Or do they just inherently have the power to do whatever they want to whomever they want for whatever reason they want just because they got out of bed that day and work for the government? I mean, shouldn't there be something that the people agreed to, through their representatives, that formed a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, that says what powers the government does and doesn't have? They could call it something like a constitution or something. Do we have one of those that says the government can strip people of their rights?
I thank god every day that I’m 39 and grew up in “the hood” and did a lot of knucklehead things growing up and i made thru with no felonies 🙏🏾🙏🏾 that’s rare where I’m from but i did it
In Louisiana first offender convicted felons automatically receive a pardon. After ten years of completing your sentence/parole, or probation firearm rights are given back. there are some crimes that are excluded from this law.
It's good to hear this and see this stuff in the comments. I've been made to feel like less of a fucking human half my life just because of a screw up in my teens.
Some of the most solid human beings I have ever met have been felons! Our laws are bullshit that prey on people for basic human behavior. Good luck to you sir
The firearms community is the best never have i seen a more liberally minded community Barry is a prime example a minute in and he is spitting some furious truth
Only reason I'm a felon is I couldn't afford a private counsel in 1990 when I was 20. I got in no trouble what so ever for 27 years until a traffic violation. I was in court the public defender actually said to me "ah chad..... Looks like you've been off the radar awhile..." 27 years later you never repay your debt.. Great video guy's good advice!
it is injustice period. as long like these laws exist then felons should not have to pay taxes. citizen or non citizen. the government will not stop until no one is free
If a felon can't be trusted with a gun, then why are they out on the streets in the first place. If a felon wants to commit a crime with a gun, having a law against it won't stop them. If a felon chooses to live lawfully, then having a weapon only adds to the safety of society. If its safe enough to let a felon out of prison then they should have the same rights as everyone else. If they are not safe for society then let them rot behind bars. Why do we think that someone who is a felon should not be able to defend their love ones from some some scum who decides to brake into their house and murder and rape their wife and children. The second amendment should be for all free people.
Thank you for making this video. I was convicted of marijuana possession in November of 2000. Since then, I've straightened out my life, went to college and graduate school and am now a math professor in Southern California. Now, since I had a weed charge 16 years ago, I can't legally protect my family. My situation really sucks. Fortunately, my wife can own guns, but still. I would really like to have a collection, but nope. I can't even take possession of my Grandfathers guns including his WWII Colt 1911 sidearm.
I just got my firearm rights back after getting a weed felony 5 or 6 years ago. cost quite a bit and took some time but its possible. keep in mind my felony was nonviolent and I didnt have a weapon on me when I was arrested.
If you are so dangerous that you can't be trusted with your rights then you shouldn't be allowed out of prison. If you served your sentence you should be a full member of society with the same rights as any other citizen.
I have a relative who had a felony on record for a violence against an officer. Was not allowed to own a gun. About 15 years later, living clean, he was able to appeal at the courts and he was granted back that right. He now conceal carries everyday.
Convicted felons can get ALL their rights restored and legally own a firearm. I personally was convicted of a class b felony / armed robbery and was granted a "certificate of relief of disabilities" and applied to the FBI for a UPIN that I use on the NICS form. My approvals take 2 minutes at most.
+Jared Phillips You have to go to the court that convicted you and fill out a request to restore rights. Just contact the clerk of the court and you can download or get it mailed to you.
It's like Bret said, contact the court that you were convicted by. Mine is in NY State. I'm still not sure if the County I'm in will grant me a handgun permit but in some Counties in NY that's another can of worms
No its not. Take Barry's example. The lady didn't have insurance and willingly chose to break the law and do something illegal just to try and make her life a little easier. She shows poor judgement and a willingness to break the law. People with poor judgement who are perfectly willing to do criminal activity should not have firearms.
So when is your debt payed to society? The only difference between you and someone that has a felony is they got caught and you didn't. Hold your breath in trying to deny this. EVERYONE has broken the lay to the point of going to jail weather you want to admit it or not. So don't judge people. In no way does it mean that just because you got busted for pot years ago means that you will use a weapon to shoot someone or commit a gun crime. Your logic makes no sense and is very oppressive. No victim = No crime.
Benjamin Griffith 1. It's not an issue of paying your debt to society. It's an issue of being an idiot. She was willing to lie about having insurance. If she got in an accident and gave the other person that fake info it would have screwed that person over. Stupid people should not have guns. 2. Just because you've broken enough "lays" to go to jail doesn't mean everyone has. 3. It's very simple. If having a gun is THAT important to you, don't do stupid shit. You're a goddam adult, your actions have consequences.
Please get off your high horse. Again you have committed crimes that you don't even realize. Have you ever taken a prescription that didn't have your name on it even an antibiotic, cream anything? Well if so that is a felony. How about carrying one prescription pill in your pocket? That is a felony. You must at all times keep it in your prescription bottle. How about having sex out of wedlock? Or sodomy? I'm sure you have committed. Both are crimes. How about speeding? If you have gone over 20 mph then that is a arrestable offense. If you try and say you never speed you are a flat out liar. Even people who drive slow have unintentionally speed at one time or another. Our last president admitted to using cocaine. Even if you are found to have a narcotic residue in a empty bag is a felony. Yet we let him be president of the US. If you have drugs in your system is a crime. You have never smoked pot? You have never known that someone is smoking pot and didn't turn them in is a crime. Jay walking? Farting in public is a crime. Cursing in public. Have you and some friends gone trick or treating before? Well if three or more of you had masks on that is a crime. Again the only difference is they got caught and apparently you didn't. Yes it is about paying your debt. That is the point of our justice system. Just because you are an "idiot" doesn't mean you are violent or are going to hurt / kill someone with a gun. I'm not even sure why I'm trying to educate your ignorant self. The arrogance just spews from your face. Thanks for pointing out my type-o. Feel better? You type of people are the reason we have such stupid laws anyway. The US incarcerates more people than ANY other country in the world. We have 25% of the worlds prison population yet we have only 10% of the world population. Even more than countries ran by tyrannical dictators. We have more than China, and they have over a billion people. Russia, North Korea etc we have far more prisoners. Again just because you deem someone an idiot means to you they are not allowed to feed their family or allowed their 2nd amendment in the constitution to protect themselves or their family. I honestly feel bad for you. Try looking into what you babble about so you don't look like a complete heartless moron.
Who said anything about an Oxy? There you go ASSuming. I said antibiotics. Can you read? Or is it reading comprehension you lack? It isn't always black and white which you seem to think it is. Again GW Bush should be a convicted felon. Yet he was president of the US. Yes if you speed and get a bunch of criminal tickets that can transfer to a felon by a habitual offender. You just can't admit it can you? Have you ever gifted someone a gun? Well that is a straw purchase and a felony. Your arrogance stinks. Sorry to inform you I'm NOT nor have I ever been convicted of a felony. Nor have I ever even been to jail. I have never been finger printed or anything. So no drug habit here. I have personally seen the injustices that occur everyday. The messed up part is if you have money everything is okay and they look the other way or slap you on the wrist. Again I know you have committed a crime or a series of smaller infraction to equal a felony. Not sure why you can't admit that? Again sodomy? In Idaho adultery is a crime. I doubt you will admit it, you don't seem like a big enough person. Again just because you deem someone an "idiot" doesn't mean they will hurt / kill someone with a firearm. The second amendment is a right not a privilege. To take someones right after they have paid their debt to society and were never convicted of a violent crime is ludicrous as is your argument.
What is "the other way"? By "Right on guys" you're agreeing with them that someone convicted of a violent felony should never be allowed to own a gun again? Or are you agreeing with them that, even though the Constitution that created the government does not give them the power, the Government is allowed to decide when, who, and what rights to strip and are allowed to strip them as long as you agree with it? Please clarify what part of stripping people of their rights gets a "Right on guys" from you.
Yeah it's ridiculous a buddy of mine got shot while walking away up the stairs in his home by his wife in the back of his arm and he got the charges and he didn't do anything to her
While domestic violence is no joke, someone always going to jail is. So is the simple things you can go to jail for. Ive seen it many times. Such as taking keys or even their phone will get you a charge. I'm a totally different person 10years later. I barely recognize me. Lol. All the change is for the better and I dont drink anymore. I think I deserve the chance to hunt again. Its a huge part of our rural life.
I remember back in the day you used to take calls at the pawn shop to talk to people coming from the channel. I called in one day and of all people, Barry answered. I had a wonderful conversation with the man, and I remember that I asked him about his opinions on this very topic. This video hadn’t come out, so I had no idea what he’d respond with, but when this video did come out (I think it was a few weeks later), his opinion hadn’t changed. Still the same man I talked with on the phone. Thank you Barry for those 10 minutes you spent talking with a stranger, and may you Rest In Peace.
For non-violent Felony's you can go to court and get it reduced to a misdemeanor after 10 years, my brother had a felony drug charge dropped to a misdemeanor after about 12 years and bought a handgun legally.
I know you're voice is small. But, I greatly appreciate you speaking out about this issue. I made horrible choices in my youth, I served a few year in prison. For drugs. I understand it was wrong and I did my time and payed my fines. Since then have lived a normal life and had the same job for almost 20 years. Even with changing I can never touch a firearm forever. It's sad as I used to love to hunt and target shoot.
I was convicted of 2 b and es and 2 grand larceny s in 94, dist of marijuana in 97 then got a family domestic charge in 09. I hired a lawyer in 2020 in Roanoke VA and I now have my gun rights and concealed permit. I hunt and can purchase guns too
Domestic violence is the most unfair and to me unconstitutional overreach in the books. My Aunt has psychologically terrorized her husbands and own father, and is party responsible for killing 2 of them by emotional abuse. She walks free and cannot be charged, but a man who raises his voice the wrong way can be ruined for life. Men need more representation pure and simple.
No Constitutional authority granted by 'the People' to government to disenfranchise any free man his inalienable rights. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. [McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010)] I still do not know how the government can disenfranchise a felon of his right to bear arms. The inalienable right ratified in the second amendment, nor any part of the Constitution does not say a felon can't own a weapon. My question is, why can we disenfranchise a felon of his/her 2nd amendment rights for life, even if the crime was unrelated to violence? Such as bank fraud, or embezzlement. It is a right, not a privilege. Secondly, and more importantly, if we can disenfranchise a person of their inalienable rights, well then why not their other inalienable rights such as their first amendment rights? Why can't we tell a convicted felon to shut up? Why can't we take away their right to peacefully assemble, or practice religion, or even basic free speech? Why can't we strip convicted felons of their 4th amendment rights, and give police the power to pat any convicted felon down, warrant or not? If you have a logical answer as to why their 2nd amendment and inalienable rights can be disenfranchised away, I hope you have a logical answer as to why their other rights CANNOT be stripped away. How is this not discrimination of a free man who has served his time for a crime and then forced to live with a life sentence of having some inalienable rights infringed upon him? How is this not double jeopardy? Where in the Constitution does it say that government can disenfranchise a citizen of their inalienable rights after they have paid for their crime? Where in the Constitution does it grant authority to government to wield the power of granting clemency over a free citizen [who must submit an application asking for their rights] in order to restore his/her inalienable rights after having served their time and released a free individual?
I'm a convicted felon evo had to forfeit all my firearms. Im a violent offender (self defense) but I'm also a combat veteran who served almost all of my 20s overseas including almost 3 years total in Iraq. It's such BS
John Kugelfischer he said self defense. You don’t know him or his situation. And you know you don’t have a valid point otherwise you would have just made your point without attacking the way he looks. There’s a reason you’re not the “gatekeeper” ..it’s because you’re not qualified for the job.
@John Kugelfischer you're a pussy, people that are still doing violent crimes don't get their guns legally. All that if I was the gatekeeper shit, I would push right past you.
This would be a mute point if a felon could have a valid hearing when their prison/parol is up to determine if they are considered a felon once they leave jail.
I have drug felonies from back in 2006. Literally caught with only “residue”. Never fought with a cop, anyone. Dumb kid having some nose beers. I hope I can get this expunged soon. Given the current times I feel for the first time I need to own a firearm to protect my family. God willing!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don't care what crime you commit, if you did your time and went through probation, then you should get all your rights back. If a person is so bad that they can't be trusted with their rights then maybe they shouldn't be leaving prison.
Thank you! You're one of very few in this thread who get it. Those who think even a murderer released from prison should not have a gun are gun controllers and are in agreement with Joe Biden and Barrack Obama. They agree that there are no rights, only privileges that the government can revoke at will. They only disagree on when the government should apply this power they have to strip anyone of any right at any time and for any reason the government chooses.
About11 12 yrs ago, I was pulled over on my way home from Mardi gras for some shoe polish on our rear window in Arkansas. Yes I was carrying a pair of brass knuckles and was slapped with a felony charge of a prohibited weapon. I took an inch thick stack of letters from police officers, school principals, friends, parents of friends, all notarized and the judge refused to even look at them. Every letter stating that I'm not a violent person, that I never,and I mean NEVER been in a fight what so ever. I'm a peaceful man, who just wanted to carry some kind of protection. Now I cant even protect my new family because i didnt have 5000 dollars for a lawyer to get the case thrown out
Got my felony when I was 19. Got into something with a couple of friends, wound up breaking into an empty house. Wound up with 5 years over that. I'm 31, and I have to use big bore airguns if I want to hunt or target shoot. It's really expensive, limiting, but at least I have an option I can take and still be abiding by the law. If i wanted to commit a crime, i'd just commit two while I'm at it and use a real gun. But I don't so this loss of rights only applies to law abiding ex felons.
Was the house empty in that no one lived there at all or empty in that no one happened to be home? breaking into someone's house is a very serious crime. People get killed over that all the time.
Scariest moment of my life. Girlfriend and I got into an argument I grabbed my phone and ran out the door she yelled she was calling the police I told her to go ahead. Police met me halfway down the road. I was detained, my girlfriend had a red mark on her wrist where I guess my fingernail caught her. The officer said I know you didn't do anything but I have to arrest you under corporal punishment. It's a felony charge. The prosecutor promptly threw it out of court. In fact we never even went to court, but it still cost me $5,000 and a 2 weeks of mental anguish wondering if I was going to have to give up my firearms.
I have a BCD for less than a qtr of weed. I was stationed at Fort Lee and there was a big drug problem at that base. I was accused of selling cocaine, which I had never even seen at that point in my life, facing 78 years. Now I am a felon with no rights.
To those saying that there's no such thing as a victimless crime: in NY or CA, it's a crime to have what they CALL an "assault weapon". They CALL a rifle with a single piece of plastic in the wrong place an "assault weapon." A single piece of plastic. Please explain to me what "victim" is affected by that piece of plastic being on a rifle as a crime.
There a large number of AR15's and other "assault weapons" in California that are legal to buy and own. Go to any Turners Outdoorsman's store and see for yourself!!!!!
That's the thing, they aren't "assault weapons" by the law's flawed definitions, so they're legally sellable. But if God forbid you change a certain feature, all hell will break lose and children and TSA agents and feelings and shoulder things that go up…
" all hell will break lose and children and TSA agents and feelings and shoulder things that go up…" Please explain the above quote! I'm lost on that one!!!!!!
… because (in the eyes of the guys that make these laws), if you make it into an "assault weapon" it will immediately control your mind and make you rape churches and burn women and stuff of that nature.
Christian Jenerette That's the best explanation I've seen on youtube since the invention of sliced beer and bottled bread! All kidding aside it's just one more reason why I'm glad to not live in those states.
“The Right Of The People To Keep & Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed.”, Is Very Specific. The Framers Never Mentioned Felonies, & Congress Never Amended The Constitution To Grant Any Government, State Or Federal, The Authority To Infringe 2nd Amendment Rights.
What part of "shall not be infringed" don't people seem to not understand? If you make exceptions from taking the rights away from some people, then what is to stop those rights being taking away from you one day? The National Firearms Act of 1934, Federal Firearms Act of 1938, Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 have already taken those rights away from millions of Americans and make it likely that the right to keep and bear arms will be further infringed in the future.
I had two domestic violence no contact violation felony's back in 2000, I petitioned the courts last year to restore my rights to own a gun and not only did I get my gun rights restored I was able to get my cwp. Check the laws in your state because it might be easier than you think to get your gun rights back! I filed the petition myself and the total cost after paying for the background check, paperwork and court costs came out to $425

The problem with the knowing right from wrong argument concerning the law, is that often, laws have nothing to do with what's right or wrong. America is filled with cumbersome, useless laws that don't do anything but make money for the government.
The biggest problem with this situation is that gun shops are following the unconstitutional rules. The sellers should be the ones refusing to follow any law that is unconstitutional. The store owners are the ones forcing the public to comply by refusing to recognize our rights. Can’t respect a gun store owner or employee that doesn’t respect my rights.

If someone gets a felony for driving, you don't lose the right to own a car, so it's all about limiting as many people as possible from owning a firearm, period.
That’s right.

U can get ur license revoked though
@@gottiic6529 Even after revocation, you can still get your license back for the so called "right to drive", but you still can't "legally" own a firearm. In either case, having a license to drive, or a permit to carry a gun is nothing more than the government taking your rights and selling them back to you.

In my state (Wisconsin) a minor can be charged with a felony of child porn production and distribution for sending nudes to their high school sweetheart (who can either be the same age or just a tad older/younger) or whatever and then lose their gun rights as well as register as a sex offender because of that, and the receiver can be charged with child porn possession (again, regardless of age) and have the same thing happen. It's an incredibly fucked up system. Also, the only way to get gun rights restored to a felon in this state is by pardon, and our governor Scott Walker has his head far up his ass and doesn't give out pardons so he can retain his "tough on crime" campaign stance so he can keep getting re-elected.
The system is fucked. And people don't realize how fucked the system is. And no legislator will change the system since their re-election hangs on it.
If you can’t be trusted with all your rights upon being released from prison, then you shouldn’t be released from prison.

Absolutely not. Paying a debt is pretty damn far from showing that you can be trusted. Especially since society has to force you to pay it. Screw criminals, I don't care what their excuse is, they shouldn't have any rights they can't be trusted with.

Ken Lazar im a felon im not dangerous unless you try to kill my friend in front of me.
Pretty much. If your a free man, you may bear arms since it is a natural right, if you cannot, you are not free. If someone's too dangerous to have a gun they absolutely should not be in public seeing as you have cars, knives, swords, chemicals, explosives and even an easy means to manufacture a firearm and ammunition, let alone buy one or steal one.

Please explain.
I served in the Marine Corps in an anti-terrorist unit. I recently decided to purchase my first gun, a Ruger 10/22. Here in Minnesota you need a permit to purchase to buy a hand gun. Most people can walk in and buy a rifle or shotgun unless they have a felony. I was denied the purchase of a rifle. The only thing on my record that I can even imagine is the reason. Is when "I" (not her) decided to divorce my crazy brazilian ex-wife, because of her infidelity She threatened that I would come home and find her and my 2 yr old daughter dead on the floor. She threatened at least 10 times she would take my daughter back to Brazil and I would never see her again. As a father protecting his child. I decided to tape record my phone line, to find out if strange men were coming over. Or if she was making flight arrangements to leave the country. The tape recorder was found at some point, not hooked to the phone line anymore. It was in the trunk of my car. I was charged with a gross misdemeanor of Invasion of Privacy/Stalk/Follow/Pursue. For tape recording my own phone line. I did one day of sentence to service (no jail time) I paid a $200 fine. Luckily, the court felt I was just a father protecting my daughter.
When I was denied the purchase of this gun. It pissed me off! I am buying guns because I have been out of the Marine Corps since 1997. I just want to have fun target shooting, see if I still have the shooting abilities I was trained with. This was just one of many guns I had wanted to buy. So I sent an E-mail to NICS to find out why I was denied. This is the answer I got, "The specific reason the flag was set could not be determined" "If you wish to challenge the accuracy of the denial, you may submit certified court documents pertaining to the prohibiting record identified above."
Ok so if they have no idea why I was denied!? What court documents should I send!? If they don't know why I was denied, then wouldn't sending my court records just give them a reason to find a reason to deny me!? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Luckily, I can buy guns private party. Even better I can build my own Ar's.
I wanted to buy a gun, and I wanted the government to know what I have. I don't care! I wanted to be honest about owning these guns. To honest, and forth coming with what I have. Now they pissed me off to the point that I will build my own guns. Then they will have no idea what I have. So I am denied, but the real people in this world who want to commit crimes can get guns! I found how just how screwed up this system is.
keep building them brother .....
Fuck the system. They have no place to know what we have anyway or deny any free man or woman the right to keep and bear arms.

Putting murderers in prison is not an infringement on their right to liberty because they have forfeited that right by murdering someone and the state has given them the chance to defend themselves against that charge and proved the charge beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury of their peers. The loud argument = domestic violence thing is total BS but I am very happy with murderers, robbers, and rapists being prohibited from possessing guns. However restricting the ability of LAW ABIDING people to own or carry guns is absolutely a violation of the 2nd amendment.
* "shall not be infringed"
Fear the govetnment that fears your gun
@@matthopkins9200 Hence the reason why they want to be the only ones to have them
If you can't be trusted with a gun, you shoudn't be running loose
Too many laws in america today. We cannot be aware of all of them.
+Richard Wood I think that is the goal.
+Michael Henriques Yes, this is a passive-aggressive means to convict as many citizens as possible of those offenses that would deny them their Constitutional right to vote and possess firearms.
+Richard Woods 1- This is also not an excuse. You can (the ones that are important or relate to you) so long as you know how to read. Most Americans don't do that thou. How many years do we live ? How come learning about ( you don't have to memorize them letter by letter) laws that relate to your life would be hard to learn ?!
+Emrah Ekinci I prefer not to be lectured on literacy by someone who doesn't understand proper spelling or grammar. Piss off troll.
I was trying to get down to your level.
Back in the 1800s when you got out of the old jailhouse the sheriff used to hand you back your pistol didn't matter what you were charged with it's just an excuse to limit Americans for owning more guns.
As a victim less convicted felon myself I will tell u I'll do whatever time I'm giving to protect my family. At last they will be alive to visit me
Your other motto is the same as mine I bet..."rather be judged by 12 than carried off by 6"
Same brother
Amen
My 2nd amendment rights trumps any states law! My 2A right was given by our creator an the laws today made by overpowering corrupt non God fearing men! So I guess all I have to say is theirs ways around laws, hence just marry a woman who dont have thoes restrictions against her and give her the $ for your bang stick! Simple! Lol
Exactly! I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6.
I have never had even a speeding ticket... No encounters with law enforcement in my life other than hunting/fishing license check and pulled over for having a dead coyote in my truck by a deputy sheriff who after he seen who I was didn't even wanna check my licenses.
But anyway every time I buy a firearm I think "Man some of these things are so unfair." I agree 100% with what these guys are saying.
Good information to know. It's crazy knowing that getting into a heated argument with your wife on the back porch, and the neighbor calling the police can strip you of your right to own a gun.. FOREVER.
Braz Mann yeah, it’s so crazy it almost seems... untrue...
I have a friend who is a police officer. One night his crazy ex-wife tried to gut him with a butcher knife. He ended up needing 12 stitches to close up his hand from disarming her-- he was bleeding like a stuck pig when the cops got there, and they were about to take him to jail until he produced proof that he was a LEO.
Why? His wife's wrist was bruised from him grabbing it to stop her disemboweling him.
If he'd been a normal joe, he'd be barred from exercising his right to keep and bear, probably for life, because having your rights restored is not cheap nor guaranteed.
Brian Appel * Is TRUE though, check into it.
Freedom of Speech is not a domestic dispute, if police show up to Your house then do not answer the door
Apologies in advance, just speaking my mind.
Sounds unjust to me.
If politicians can't beat you with brains, they baffle you with bullshit, it seems.
Aka paper shufflers.
"Have you 'EVER' been convicted of a felony vs "The Rite To Keep And Bear Arms Shall NOT Be Infringed."
Violation of the second. Doesn’t matter, after the lengthy parole after a prison stay if they were good then they should have all restored back to them
DB Stevens a violent repeat offender isn’t going to listen to the law anyway. I’m saying if they serve their tim and make it through the scrutinizing extensive parole their rights should be restored.
DB Stevens you do realize defending yourself in certain instances or your significant others honor may just make you a violent offender. Or that a woman could just say you hit her and overnight you are a violent offender. Our founders believed in when you served your time you were good. Everyone got so high and mighty the last hundred years and let rights go out the window till it effects them and then they cry.
DB Stevens I’m all for third strike you’re out.
@DB Stevens You have a strange stance on things. Felonies keep getting lower and lower, what used to be a traffic violation (or still is in the military) is considered a felony to us serfs, now.
Hopefully you'll gain some life experience, and learn a few things.
DB Stevens oh yea??? Well what about a guy that lived in a state with a no self defense law,and this guy was out fishing one night not bothering anyone and a stranger attacked him,so he defends himself from the attacker,and the attacker got hurt,and he was sent to Prison for it....
Now you are telling me that guy should spend the rest of his life in Prison??? GTFOH,,,oh yea,by the way I am that guy who was fishing that night and went to prison when I was 20 and got out when I was 23,13 years later and I still haven’t been in any trouble
The whole "never give a convicted felon a gun!" thing is bullshit. Violent or not, how long does a guy have to pay for a mistake? Not only gun ownership but every job application "have you ever been convicted of a felony? If yes please explain" no wonder why they end up back in the pen. Smh
***** Pending felons, not yet convicted, can keep/possess guns they already own. And also buy/trade private dealers. They will be denied by federal licensed gun shops while pending, and after conviction (if there is conviction). Once convicted, you'll always be denied and your probation/parole officer will want you to give up previously owned guns (I'd imagine), other than your trusty old (or replica) muzzle loader (sorry, no Thompson Center Fire folks). If no conviction, your rights will be restored after you clear it up.
Or, you could just run from the law and remain pending (no one found = no one to convict) until your statue of limitations runs out (not all felonies have limits). Also, not all felonies are extraditable from one state to another = easy to "hide" = just don't go back. .......... so I hear
***** I disagree. Jail time is enough. Besides murder should be taken into consideration, its not so black and white. Say you kill a man who hurt someone you love that's "murder" so you cant lump all crime together. Because thats what our govt is doing and see the results.
Convicted murderers shouldn't be in society. Gun laws are communist and liberals letting out murderers isn't a good argument for gun control unless u admire hitler
99% of crimes committed are not accidents. An accident is making a spelling or grammar error. Committing a crime is a choice...a bad choice but none the less its a choice.
MorbidMinister666 So you've never did something you later regretted? You're 100% without fault? That's pretty rare, I'm impressed.
Most convicted felons I know are FAR more moral and honest and TRUST worthy than regular people are! Once a man or woman pay there dept, They PAYED there dept and all is forgiven! Period!
cops to today are bigger crooks then career criminals are. and the cops get away with it.
You are one naive fool, Bret.
Dimetropteryx, and you are a pompus asshole, but hey, don't let that stop you.
amen to that most people with a background is much more moral and honest because that's what prison system does it makes men outta boys.
Im a "viloent felon" ...i was in a fight at 16 ...i broke his jaw ...1 on 1....done...welp only ghost guns here on out
James Carlin sounds like u don’t even need a gun😂 at least you won the fight
Lol nice ;)
You can just make a gun btw so it’s all bs
It does not count as a minor. You are fine to buy a gun unless you were tried as an adult.
There is a difference between a criminal felon and a law abiding felon. No law has ever stopped a criminal felon from owning a gun, it only stops law abiding citizens, felon or not.
Thank you for addressing this issue guys, I was convicted of a felony at 18 for robbery it was a foolish mistake I am now almost 40 and I'm in the same boat I was back then as far as legally owning or obtaining firearms
NSANE ONE Did you get your rights back?
Getting my civil rights back as we speak its been 10yrs since discharge im 32 now and everything you said was exactly what happened to me...Call the county law library they will give you all the information you need to restore your civil gun rights its worth it bud especially being it was that long ago! Most likely they give it to you especially if you haven't been in trouble with the law all these years!
Buy modern black powder or even antique firearms would be great for home self defense. Now is it as affective as modern firearms no it’s not but it will serve its purp

@DB Stevens I used the term non sequitur is perfect context, thanks.
You failed in your assumption that the government gives a damn about the constitution. We have a LEGAL system in this country, not a JUSTICE system. There is zero justice in the courts. None.
Half the nation are permanently convicted felons for victimless non-violent offenses, who are PERMANENTLY BANNED from ever possessing a firearm or even a single bullet for life!
GUNS should be permanently BANNED in the United States from EVERYONE, not just white-collar NON-VIOLENT felons! (Eventually, everyone shall be permanently and properly banned from possessing a bullet or gun!)
have an uncle who is a convicted felon, he owns cap and ball revolvers for defense. The laws here don't prohibit black powder weapons.
what state does your uncle live in?
@@Omar-if1cu Arkansas.
Same in Texas, felons can have cap & ball revolvers.
Same thing in ohio
Same in Alabama.
A felony doesn't prevent a firearm purchase, just prevents a LEGAL purchase.
@D Madd11 how does his comment make him stupid? His point is even if you were to buy a gun illegally it doesn't suddenly make it all hunky dory. Not exactly hard to see his point lol
@@MrRedeyedJedi WOOOOOSSHHH
Any & ALL FELONIES = It is criminal to OWN, USE or POSES a FIREARM... POINT BLANK PERIOD.
Can use black powder & muzzle loaders.
Yep!
What? Do you think gun shops gonna give you a gun and call it an illegal purchase?
Overall, violent felons probably shouldn't be able to own guns, BUT, if they are safe enough to allow back into society, then why not be able to own a gun legally? If they are not presumed safe enough to own a firearm, why would you trust them to release them back into society where they can access knives, etc.? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
As for domestic violence, I don't think that should be a gun-removing law. It's too broad of a definition to enforce properly. It's a good intention law but I don't know how effective it is.
you're wrong dude. this video is wrong as well. it is simply not true that all felons are prohibited from owning guns. if you're convicted of a certain violent felony OR misdemeanor, then you will lose your gun rights. there is a list of crimes which cause this. for some crimes, such as misdemeanors, you only lose your gun rights for 2 years. for other crimes, such as felonies, you lose them for 5 years. however, the VAST MAJORITY of felonies AND misdemeanors are not on this list at all. domestic violence is one of the only misdemeanors that is on the list. most felonies will not result in you losing your gun rights. it only includes violent crimes, serious financial crimes, and serious drug crimes such as dealing large quantities of schedule 1 drugs. so you don't lose your gun rights for committing victimless crimes. if you commit certain nearly-victimless crimes, you only lose your gun rights for a couple years, and you can appeal to have your gun rights reinstated. even if you murder somebody, you can still appeal to have your gun rights reinstated, though you probably won't win.
I just wanted to point out that many violent felons are simply NOT safe enough to be released back into society, but are nevertheless discharged when their sentences are up. Regardless of their crimes or their behavior while incarcerated, felons MUST be released when they have completed their sentences. That is the law. Behavior and the likelihood to reoffend are considered only when inmates are released early on parole. Many states will attempt to parole an inmate whom they know is dangerous, because the parole process allows that offender to be monitored by a parole agent, who can in turn, catch the offender committing another felony while he is subject to monitoring, and get him locked back up again before he can hurt someone. If he flats (completes his full sentence without parole), he can just walk out the door without being legally subject to any monitoring whatsoever. This is why dangerous inmates will often refuse parole. They know they are likely to get busted again while on parole, so they would rather flat their sentences in order to keep from picking up another felony conviction.
shmediaproductions is absolutely correct. Different states have different laws regarding whether or not a felon can regain his gun rights. Many states return your gun and voting rights after a certain period of time, or never take them away at all depending on the crime. Domestic violence is the exception. Restricting gun ownership for domestic violence is a federal law. However, in many states (like mine), you do not permanently lose your gun rights for domestic violence, and the state will not enforce the federal law. Therefore, if you live in the right state, you could possibly buy a gun from a private party for use inside your own state.
The video was also incorrect about domestic violence arrests. They spoke as if every time the police arrive at at domestic disturbance, someone is going to get arrested, charged, and convicted. This is simply not true! Convictions for domestic violence are actually somewhat rare, because the participants often change their minds or their stories somewhere along the way. Granted, cops will often make an arrest in order to separate individuals who could end up hurting one another, but this seldom results in an actual conviction. Cops will often attempt to convince one party to simply leave the house to avoid having to make an arrest. The odds are slim that you will lose you gun rights for slapping or pushing your spouse. But beat the crap out of them, and yes, you'll probably do time and lose your gun rights for at least some period of time.
***** Sounds like you had a shitty lawyer, or none at all! A fist fight in a bar would almost universally be considered mutual combat not assault. Unless, you beat this guy well beyond a point where he could no longer defend himself and be a threat to you? As far as your unemployment, if you could get a passport almost any construction company in the U.S. would likely hire you as convicted felon.
***** Got no job yet you have access to youtube? how's that happen?
Pleasant Lake Pirate public wifi at starbucks or mcdonalds.. heck even the library is an option.
Thank you for talking about this... it’s not talked about enough. If you catch a drug charge that’s a felony same thing no second amendment for you. This is a horrible law that should be changed. Non violent felons should be able to buy and possess a firearm!!!!!
A group should be formed to write a petition the state local or federal depending who the charge was with a non violent felony should not allow the laws to be infringed and strip citizens of their 2 ammendment rights
@@rl3383 The problem is, what is classified as 'violent'. Far too many crimes are considered violent just to post harsher punishments. You can wreck the shit out of someone with mental abuse and that is not a thing in the courts. If you had a box knife in your pocket you used at work and you get attacked and you win but the attacker ends up with collateral damage... say loses an eye ( and you stopped the attack without pulling the knife), you WILL still be charged with assault using excessive force and when they frisk you, you are now in possession of a deadly weapon. There is no justice in the justice system. Trust me.......... I know.
Not true I had 2 breaking and entering and 2 grand larceny s, a dist of marijuana in 97 then a family domestic charge in 09. And I hamy gun rights and concealed permit and is able to purchase guns for 2 years now
But you're OK with the government stripping some felons of their rights? Where in the Constitution does the government get that power? Can you educate us? Or do they just inherently have the power to do whatever they want to whomever they want for whatever reason they want just because they got out of bed that day and work for the government? I mean, shouldn't there be something that the people agreed to, through their representatives, that formed a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, that says what powers the government does and doesn't have? They could call it something like a constitution or something. Do we have one of those that says the government can strip people of their rights?
I thank god every day that I’m 39 and grew up in “the hood” and did a lot of knucklehead things growing up and i made thru with no felonies 🙏🏾🙏🏾 that’s rare where I’m from but i did it
In Louisiana first offender convicted felons automatically receive a pardon. After ten years of completing your sentence/parole, or probation firearm rights are given back. there are some crimes that are excluded from this law.
Chris Henson maybe but with federal gov you must get a presidential pardon to get your rights back.
I know a guy that had mutual underage relations with his GF. The dad got him convicted as a felon for life. This is wrong
I had this happen when I was 12. My conviction is out of Colorado so the only way to restore my gun rights is a pardon.
It's good to hear this and see this stuff in the comments. I've been made to feel like less of a fucking human half my life just because of a screw up in my teens.
Some of the most solid human beings I have ever met have been felons! Our laws are bullshit that prey on people for basic human behavior. Good luck to you sir
Right...in Florida, even after many accomplishments and a squeaky clean record for 19 years you are still a felon in a negative connotation
Belive me as a felon with multiple kids this is a scary time as a dad. Literally even going to the park or store gives me major anxiety.
The firearms community is the best never have i seen a more liberally minded community Barry is a prime example a minute in and he is spitting some furious truth
Only reason I'm a felon is I couldn't afford a private counsel in 1990 when I was 20. I got in no trouble what so ever for 27 years until a traffic violation. I was in court the public defender actually said to me "ah chad..... Looks like you've been off the radar awhile..." 27 years later you never repay your debt.. Great video guy's good advice!
it is injustice period. as long like these laws exist then felons should not have to pay taxes. citizen or non citizen. the government will not stop until no one is free
This is something most gun channels are scared to touch. Kudos for doing this.
Watching your guys vids I feel like I'm hangin' with my buds, it's great! Rest in peace Barry, you're the man!
If a felon can't be trusted with a gun, then why are they out on the streets in the first place. If a felon wants to commit a crime with a gun, having a law against it won't stop them. If a felon chooses to live lawfully, then having a weapon only adds to the safety of society. If its safe enough to let a felon out of prison then they should have the same rights as everyone else. If they are not safe for society then let them rot behind bars.
Why do we think that someone who is a felon should not be able to defend their love ones from some some scum who decides to brake into their house and murder and rape their wife and children. The second amendment should be for all free people.
Someone send this video to trump. . maybe he'll fix this BS.

Thank you for making this video. I was convicted of marijuana possession in November of 2000. Since then, I've straightened out my life, went to college and graduate school and am now a math professor in Southern California. Now, since I had a weed charge 16 years ago, I can't legally protect my family. My situation really sucks. Fortunately, my wife can own guns, but still. I would really like to have a collection, but nope. I can't even take possession of my Grandfathers guns including his WWII Colt 1911 sidearm.
Lets not forget back in the day you could have been convinced of a murder and then become a Sheriff
If you are a Democrat you can now
I just got my firearm rights back after getting a weed felony 5 or 6 years ago. cost quite a bit and took some time but its possible. keep in mind my felony was nonviolent and I didnt have a weapon on me when I was arrested.
What state are u from?
Jhendka P. Not in Cali! 😹
Curious as to what state also.
If you are so dangerous that you can't be trusted with your rights then you shouldn't be allowed out of prison. If you served your sentence you should be a full member of society with the same rights as any other citizen.
I have a relative who had a felony on record for a violence against an officer. Was not allowed to own a gun. About 15 years later, living clean, he was able to appeal at the courts and he was granted back that right. He now conceal carries everyday.
the cops are just as big if not worse criminals then the crooks are.
Dude how did he do it i have the same charge
Convicted felons can get ALL their rights restored and legally own a firearm. I personally was convicted of a class b felony / armed robbery and was granted a "certificate of relief of disabilities" and applied to the FBI for a UPIN that I use on the NICS form. My approvals take 2 minutes at most.
+Jared Phillips You have to go to the court that convicted you and fill out a request to restore rights. Just contact the clerk of the court and you can download or get it mailed to you.
It's like Bret said, contact the court that you were convicted by. Mine is in NY State. I'm still not sure if the County I'm in will grant me a handgun permit but in some Counties in NY that's another can of worms
I got my Certificate about 1 yr after I completed sentence and parole time in NY State
+Jared Phillips mind if I ask what they are?
Sorry but this varies from state to state there are states that will NEVER restore your rights!
It is ridiculous that if you had a non violent felony that you should lose the right to protect yourself...especially if you are a woman.
No its not. Take Barry's example. The lady didn't have insurance and willingly chose to break the law and do something illegal just to try and make her life a little easier. She shows poor judgement and a willingness to break the law. People with poor judgement who are perfectly willing to do criminal activity should not have firearms.
So when is your debt payed to society?
The only difference between you and someone that has a felony is they got caught and you didn't.
Hold your breath in trying to deny this. EVERYONE has broken the lay to the point of going to jail weather you want to admit it or not.
So don't judge people.
In no way does it mean that just because you got busted for pot years ago means that you will use a weapon to shoot someone or commit a gun crime.
Your logic makes no sense and is very oppressive.
No victim = No crime.
Benjamin Griffith 1. It's not an issue of paying your debt to society. It's an issue of being an idiot. She was willing to lie about having insurance. If she got in an accident and gave the other person that fake info it would have screwed that person over. Stupid people should not have guns.
2. Just because you've broken enough "lays" to go to jail doesn't mean everyone has.
3. It's very simple. If having a gun is THAT important to you, don't do stupid shit. You're a goddam adult, your actions have consequences.
Please get off your high horse.
Again you have committed crimes that you don't even realize.
Have you ever taken a prescription that didn't have your name on it even an antibiotic, cream anything? Well if so that is a felony.
How about carrying one prescription pill in your pocket? That is a felony. You must at all times keep it in your prescription bottle.
How about having sex out of wedlock? Or sodomy? I'm sure you have committed. Both are crimes.
How about speeding? If you have gone over 20 mph then that is a arrestable offense. If you try and say you never speed you are a flat out liar. Even people who drive slow have unintentionally speed at one time or another.
Our last president admitted to using cocaine. Even if you are found to have a narcotic residue in a empty bag is a felony. Yet we let him be president of the US. If you have drugs in your system is a crime.
You have never smoked pot? You have never known that someone is smoking pot and didn't turn them in is a crime.
Jay walking?
Farting in public is a crime. Cursing in public. Have you and some friends gone trick or treating before? Well if three or more of you had masks on that is a crime.
Again the only difference is they got caught and apparently you didn't.
Yes it is about paying your debt. That is the point of our justice system. Just because you are an "idiot" doesn't mean you are violent or are going to hurt / kill someone with a gun.
I'm not even sure why I'm trying to educate your ignorant self. The arrogance just spews from your face. Thanks for pointing out my type-o. Feel better?
You type of people are the reason we have such stupid laws anyway. The US incarcerates more people than ANY other country in the world. We have 25% of the worlds prison population yet we have only 10% of the world population.
Even more than countries ran by tyrannical dictators. We have more than China, and they have over a billion people. Russia, North Korea etc we have far more prisoners.
Again just because you deem someone an idiot means to you they are not allowed to feed their family or allowed their 2nd amendment in the constitution to protect themselves or their family.
I honestly feel bad for you. Try looking into what you babble about so you don't look like a complete heartless moron.
Who said anything about an Oxy? There you go ASSuming. I said antibiotics. Can you read? Or is it reading comprehension you lack?
It isn't always black and white which you seem to think it is.
Again GW Bush should be a convicted felon. Yet he was president of the US.
Yes if you speed and get a bunch of criminal tickets that can transfer to a felon by a habitual offender.
You just can't admit it can you?
Have you ever gifted someone a gun? Well that is a straw purchase and a felony.
Your arrogance stinks. Sorry to inform you I'm NOT nor have I ever been convicted of a felony. Nor have I ever even been to jail. I have never been finger printed or anything.
So no drug habit here. I have personally seen the injustices that occur everyday. The messed up part is if you have money everything is okay and they look the other way or slap you on the wrist.
Again I know you have committed a crime or a series of smaller infraction to equal a felony.
Not sure why you can't admit that?
Again sodomy? In Idaho adultery is a crime.
I doubt you will admit it, you don't seem like a big enough person.
Again just because you deem someone an "idiot" doesn't mean they will hurt / kill someone with a firearm.
The second amendment is a right not a privilege. To take someones right after they have paid their debt to society and were never convicted of a violent crime is ludicrous as is your argument.
I have been told that in the great state of Alabama if you are a felon of a non-violent crime, they do not take away your gun rights.
100% correct.
Here in NC have to wait 20 years then try and get them back. I guess you better hope nothing happens for 20 years. Total bs.
Damn I thought this video was gonna go the other way. Right on guys
What is "the other way"? By "Right on guys" you're agreeing with them that someone convicted of a violent felony should never be allowed to own a gun again? Or are you agreeing with them that, even though the Constitution that created the government does not give them the power, the Government is allowed to decide when, who, and what rights to strip and are allowed to strip them as long as you agree with it? Please clarify what part of stripping people of their rights gets a "Right on guys" from you.

While domestic violence is no joke, someone always going to jail is. So is the simple things you can go to jail for. Ive seen it many times. Such as taking keys or even their phone will get you a charge. I'm a totally different person 10years later. I barely recognize me. Lol. All the change is for the better and I dont drink anymore. I think I deserve the chance to hunt again. Its a huge part of our rural life.
I miss that old man. It's good to see him after all these years.
I remember back in the day you used to take calls at the pawn shop to talk to people coming from the channel. I called in one day and of all people, Barry answered. I had a wonderful conversation with the man, and I remember that I asked him about his opinions on this very topic. This video hadn’t come out, so I had no idea what he’d respond with, but when this video did come out (I think it was a few weeks later), his opinion hadn’t changed. Still the same man I talked with on the phone. Thank you Barry for those 10 minutes you spent talking with a stranger, and may you Rest In Peace.
Never get the law involved in family issues!☻
For non-violent Felony's you can go to court and get it reduced to a misdemeanor after 10 years, my brother had a felony drug charge dropped to a misdemeanor after about 12 years and bought a handgun legally.
We don't have 10 years lol
I know you're voice is small. But, I greatly appreciate you speaking out about this issue. I made horrible choices in my youth, I served a few year in prison. For drugs. I understand it was wrong and I did my time and payed my fines. Since then have lived a normal life and had the same job for almost 20 years. Even with changing I can never touch a firearm forever. It's sad as I used to love to hunt and target shoot.
I was convicted of 2 b and es and 2 grand larceny s in 94, dist of marijuana in 97 then got a family domestic charge in 09. I hired a lawyer in 2020 in Roanoke VA and I now have my gun rights and concealed permit. I hunt and can purchase guns too
Domestic violence is the most unfair and to me unconstitutional overreach in the books. My Aunt has psychologically terrorized her husbands and own father, and is party responsible for killing 2 of them by emotional abuse. She walks free and cannot be charged, but a man who raises his voice the wrong way can be ruined for life.
Men need more representation pure and simple.
No Constitutional authority granted by 'the People' to government to disenfranchise any free man his inalienable rights. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. [McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010)] I still do not know how the government can disenfranchise a felon of his right to bear arms. The inalienable right ratified in the second amendment, nor any part of the Constitution does not say a felon can't own a weapon. My question is, why can we disenfranchise a felon of his/her 2nd amendment rights for life, even if the crime was unrelated to violence? Such as bank fraud, or embezzlement. It is a right, not a privilege. Secondly, and more importantly, if we can disenfranchise a person of their inalienable rights, well then why not their other inalienable rights such as their first amendment rights? Why can't we tell a convicted felon to shut up? Why can't we take away their right to peacefully assemble, or practice religion, or even basic free speech? Why can't we strip convicted felons of their 4th amendment rights, and give police the power to pat any convicted felon down, warrant or not? If you have a logical answer as to why their 2nd amendment and inalienable rights can be disenfranchised away, I hope you have a logical answer as to why their other rights CANNOT be stripped away.
How is this not discrimination of a free man who has served his time for a crime and then forced to live with a life sentence of having some inalienable rights infringed upon him? How is this not double jeopardy? Where in the Constitution does it say that government can disenfranchise a citizen of their inalienable rights after they have paid for their crime? Where in the Constitution does it grant authority to government to wield the power of granting clemency over a free citizen [who must submit an application asking for their rights] in order to restore his/her inalienable rights after having served their time and released a free individual?
Excellent points.
out-fukn-standingly put
It doesn't say that... we the people keep letting the government make up these unconstitutional laws and step on us though sadly.
just watching this video pisses me off. i shoulda been an activist instead of a soldier
Shane Moon And you can’t spell. 🤦♂️
@Shane Moon *You're
“Mr. William Jefferson Clinton is the one who rammed that down our throats.”
Bravo, Barry sir. Bravo indeed.
One of the stupidest laws in our country. Non-violent crimes should not result in not being able to own something. Ever.
I got my California felony expunged while living in a whole different state.
Please explain
I'm a convicted felon evo had to forfeit all my firearms. Im a violent offender (self defense) but I'm also a combat veteran who served almost all of my 20s overseas including almost 3 years total in Iraq. It's such BS
John Kugelfischer he said self defense.
You don’t know him or his situation.
And you know you don’t have a valid point otherwise you would have just made your point without attacking the way he looks.
There’s a reason you’re not the “gatekeeper” ..it’s because you’re not qualified for the job.
Yeah John you're saying that because you're rights haven't been infringed upon yet
@John Kugelfischer you're a pussy, people that are still doing violent crimes don't get their guns legally. All that if I was the gatekeeper shit, I would push right past you.
This would be a mute point if a felon could have a valid hearing when their prison/parol is up to determine if they are considered a felon once they leave jail.
I have drug felonies from back in 2006. Literally caught with only “residue”. Never fought with a cop, anyone. Dumb kid having some nose beers. I hope I can get this expunged soon. Given the current times I feel for the first time I need to own a firearm to protect my family. God willing!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don't care what crime you commit, if you did your time and went through probation, then you should get all your rights back. If a person is so bad that they can't be trusted with their rights then maybe they shouldn't be leaving prison.
Thank you! You're one of very few in this thread who get it. Those who think even a murderer released from prison should not have a gun are gun controllers and are in agreement with Joe Biden and Barrack Obama. They agree that there are no rights, only privileges that the government can revoke at will. They only disagree on when the government should apply this power they have to strip anyone of any right at any time and for any reason the government chooses.
About11 12 yrs ago, I was pulled over on my way home from Mardi gras for some shoe polish on our rear window in Arkansas.
Yes I was carrying a pair of brass knuckles and was slapped with a felony charge of a prohibited weapon.
I took an inch thick stack of letters from police officers, school principals, friends, parents of friends, all notarized and the judge refused to even look at them. Every letter stating that I'm not a violent person, that I never,and I mean NEVER been in a fight what so ever.
I'm a peaceful man, who just wanted to carry some kind of protection.
Now I cant even protect my new family because i didnt have 5000 dollars for a lawyer to get the case thrown out
Goofyfoot FOUR1SEVEN wah wah wah... that's 90% of the people in prisons
Got my felony when I was 19. Got into something with a couple of friends, wound up breaking into an empty house. Wound up with 5 years over that. I'm 31, and I have to use big bore airguns if I want to hunt or target shoot. It's really expensive, limiting, but at least I have an option I can take and still be abiding by the law. If i wanted to commit a crime, i'd just commit two while I'm at it and use a real gun. But I don't so this loss of rights only applies to law abiding ex felons.
Your never an ex felon. Once a felon always a felon
Brandon Thorpe did you try to get your Rights Back? That’s not a Violent Crime.
Same 18 got in to a fight while a bit drunk I'm 30 now no gun allowed
Was the house empty in that no one lived there at all or empty in that no one happened to be home? breaking into someone's house is a very serious crime. People get killed over that all the time.
Scariest moment of my life. Girlfriend and I got into an argument I grabbed my phone and ran out the door she yelled she was calling the police I told her to go ahead. Police met me halfway down the road. I was detained, my girlfriend had a red mark on her wrist where I guess my fingernail caught her. The officer said I know you didn't do anything but I have to arrest you under corporal punishment. It's a felony charge.
The prosecutor promptly threw it out of court. In fact we never even went to court, but it still cost me $5,000 and a 2 weeks of mental anguish wondering if I was going to have to give up my firearms.
i did not expect you guys to have this opinion. but i am even more of a fan after watching this one. I wish everyone thought like this.
we all gotta walk on egg shells nowadays
I like your shirt, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath! Hell yea!
I have a BCD for less than a qtr of weed. I was stationed at Fort Lee and there was a big drug problem at that base. I was accused of selling cocaine, which I had never even seen at that point in my life, facing 78 years. Now I am a felon with no rights.
To those saying that there's no such thing as a victimless crime: in NY or CA, it's a crime to have what they CALL an "assault weapon". They CALL a rifle with a single piece of plastic in the wrong place an "assault weapon." A single piece of plastic. Please explain to me what "victim" is affected by that piece of plastic being on a rifle as a crime.
There a large number of AR15's and other "assault weapons" in California that are legal to buy and own. Go to any Turners Outdoorsman's store and see for yourself!!!!!
That's the thing, they aren't "assault weapons" by the law's flawed definitions, so they're legally sellable. But if God forbid you change a certain feature, all hell will break lose and children and TSA agents and feelings and shoulder things that go up…
" all hell will break lose and children and TSA agents and feelings and shoulder things that go up…"
Please explain the above quote! I'm lost on that one!!!!!!
… because (in the eyes of the guys that make these laws), if you make it into an "assault weapon" it will immediately control your mind and make you rape churches and burn women and stuff of that nature.
Christian Jenerette That's the best explanation I've seen on youtube since the invention of sliced beer and bottled bread! All kidding aside it's just one more reason why I'm glad to not live in those states.
“The Right Of The People To Keep & Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed.”,
Is Very Specific.
The Framers Never Mentioned
Felonies, & Congress Never
Amended The Constitution
To Grant Any Government,
State Or Federal,
The Authority
To Infringe 2nd Amendment Rights.
What part of "shall not be infringed" don't people seem to not understand?
If you make exceptions from taking the rights away from some people, then what is to stop those rights being taking away from you one day?
The National Firearms Act of 1934, Federal Firearms Act of 1938, Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 have already taken those rights away from millions of Americans and make it likely that the right to keep and bear arms will be further infringed in the future.
I committed my felony with a computer. I can and do own more than one computer. WTF does that have to do with guns?
11:11 I love that part. "Just one slap" RIP Barry
🤦🤦🤦
I had two domestic violence no contact violation felony's back in 2000, I petitioned the courts last year to restore my rights to own a gun and not only did I get my gun rights restored I was able to get my cwp. Check the laws in your state because it might be easier than you think to get your gun rights back! I filed the petition myself and the total cost after paying for the background check, paperwork and court costs came out to $425
nothing more then paying an extortion for a inalienable right you always had and they never had the authority to remove.
No Constitutional authority granted by 'the People' to government to disenfranchise any free man his inalienable rights. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. [McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010)] I still do not know how the government can disenfranchise a felon of his right to bear arms.

The problem with the knowing right from wrong argument concerning the law, is that often, laws have nothing to do with what's right or wrong. America is filled with cumbersome, useless laws that don't do anything but make money for the government.
The biggest problem with this situation is that gun shops are following the unconstitutional rules. The sellers should be the ones refusing to follow any law that is unconstitutional. The store owners are the ones forcing the public to comply by refusing to recognize our rights. Can’t respect a gun store owner or employee that doesn’t respect my rights.
"I've been so close to being charged with domestic violence, its incredible"
Lmfao I love the honesty 🤣
