Felons shouldn’t be debarred the right to keep and bear arms. If you have “paid your debt to society” through incarceration, fines, community service, etc. then your rights should not be infringed on.

Note to self - stay away from all things Soloflex.

I am of the opinion that once all time has been served (to include probation and/or parole), one should retain all one's prior rights. If a person is deemed untrustworthy with all rights upon release, then said person likely shouldn't be released in the first place.

let alone the AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles he was hoarding

Hoarding two weapons? What would this moron who considers himself a "reporter" have the man do with the weapons? Share them? Hoarding? What a moron.

I am guessing the story behind the story is that, like many felons who realize the life saving nature of guns, so petition a court to restore their right to bear arms, this guy’s lawyer did so as well. Judges are surprisingly reasonable in most cases to gun rights restoration.

But in this case the judge probably not only said “No!”, but “Hell No!”

And this is why we have judges. While there are a lot of people that a judge might reasonably suspect should not have guns, because having them would make them a danger to themselves or others; that felony conviction makes all the difference in the world.

With a felony conviction, the judge can say no. Now in that this man probably has considerable wealth, he could appeal that decision, but even he probably suspected that the appellate just would probably say much the same thing.

The article smacks of the author being an anti-freedom, anti-2nd amendment pansy. That being said, the “no arms for felons” thing should be subjective to the individual, not the crime.
