Long Time Coming

I’ve always maintained that it’s an injustice for someone to lose their Second Amendment rights because of a criminal record imposed by the commission of a non-violent crime.  By all means, deny the Second to recently-paroled armed robbers and the like — but for non-violent offenses like forgery or tax evasion?  No.

Seems as though some judges are coming to the same conclusion.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held this week in Range v. Garland that the government cannot disarm people convicted of minor, nonviolent offenses.

Unless I miss my guess, this is headed straight for the Supremes — and they’d better get it right.

  1. NOBODY gets to dictate what I will own. Ever.
    If they try, I will ignore them and own what I want anyway.
    The very nerve…

    And, I would never accept a job where the function is to dictate what other people will own. Can you imagine how miserable of a person you would become to stick your fat, pock marked snoot into other people’s business like that? There are better things to do with ones limited time on this earth.
