I’d like them to define “enormous number” of weapons. Does that include kitchen knives as well? Four Ak’s and a .50 is “enormous”?
Funny, I just heard that one again the other day. Some folks are in for a huge shock.
More kudos to the author: "assault weapon" wasn't used either.
Soon to be an all too common and most likely punishable offense.
That said, are these people REALLY that clueless? A peek into an average rural granddad's gun cabinet would set these clowns reeling.
Liberals have been fighting laws in some states that bar convicted felons from regaining their voting rights, claiming it is a violation of their constitutional rights.
But no one has shown any interest in allowing the restoration of 2nd amendment rights.
My personal belief is that once a law breaker has served all of their prison time and parole, and made all required restitution, laws that prevent them from regaining the rights of full citizenship keep them as outcasts and probably contribute to recidivism.
On the one hand, society wants them to become good citizens. On the other hand, society tells them they cannot be full citizens.
It seems there should be a path to restoration of all rights for those who truly leave thier life of crime behind and have fully completed their legally required penance and punishhment.
There is more compassion shown for illegal criminals than for American citizens who have made a mistake, served thier time, and turned their lives around.
Look up Lewis v. United States (1980) “This Court has recognized repeatedly that a legislature constitutionally may prohibit a convicted felon from engaging in activities far more fundamental than the possession of a firearm.”
BTTT!
Something I have been saying for YEARS! If they are so dangerous that they should not have access to a gun, then keep them locked up!
But, once they have paid their debt to society, then they should get ALL of their rights back! If they fail to live up to their constitutional duty to leave others-be, then put them back in jail! DUH!
I agree, this guy, if he can afford it or can get an action group to support him, should appeal this to the highest court and demand that he still has a Constitutional right to protect himself and his loved ones! PERIOD!
ISzaraz needs to kiss that "acquaintance's a$$
Of course not - because there are no "FEMA Camps".
You might be referring to the new "Affordable Health Care Act Re-Habilitation Centers", where those burdened with outdated beliefs causing anti-social behavioral problems can be brought back into the mainstream through the use of the most up to date and progressive techniques of re-education and behavior modification.
Judges are going to be saying that to millions of us soon, if this democrap continues. You can't have them because you're a felon. And you're a felon because you have what you can't have.
Motto "Arbeit Macht Frei" Sorry, "Work will make you free" complete with showers for the new arrivals.
Then I really wouldn’t want to say what our family has. Would make local law enforcement blush. And our neighbor up the road has more.
Be careful what you say and post on social media. Just because you are in a "room" full of like-minded souls, always assume that your words will be read by the authorities.
100% agree. I actually sweat over some of the stuff I have posted here on FR in the past. But the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. When I started posting here we were all living in a different country. Things change. Learn from my mistakes.
“You can’t have them,” the judge shot back. “It’s as simple as that.”

so the Judge opined as he gently caressed his P40 in his holster strapped to his left thigh.. in his right hand, his Ping putter slowly spun..
there is no out of bounds except when the left chooses to use it to their advantage.
To learn a lesson from this, forget for a moment he is a felon. I expect he told the acquaintance IF the govn. came to take his weapons, he wouldn't turn them over which means he would fight them. Freepers say they aren't giving up their guns so that's close to the same thing. However, saying it in “real life” to an acquaintance who doesn't know you well, is foolish. Also, going to the door dressed like Rambo, is foolish. He shouldn't have answered the door.
I was in my Walmart yesterday to get a target to use with my Walther pellet gun (the kind of target that captures the pellets) and the shelves for ammo were bare except for a few boxes of whatever. I asked the clerk if she had any 22 lr hollow points, and she laughed.
I got the metal target thingy, plus some zombie paper targets to attach to the unit. Practicing hitting a target with any type gun is good practice. This pellet gun also fires BBs, and I was looking for the BB target (with picture of zombies on it) that captures the BBs on the target, then the BBs slowly slide down the target to the bottom to be collected and used again. They didn't have that so will get one from Amazon.
But but but how did he have guns? Didn’t he know they were illegal for him to own?
This doesn’t make sense... a criminal that doesn’t care about laws? Hellyousay!!!
Look at it this way....
If laws worked Barack Obama would still be an illegal alien from Indochina with a bogus Connecticut Social Security card, working as a Community Organizer in Chicago and scamming little old black ladies out of their government handouts.
Instead, he's an illegal alien from Indochina with a bogus Connecticut Social Security card, working as a an American President in Washington, DC and scamming little old white ladies out of their savings.
