You know, this kind of thing doesn’t make sense.

Either someone is a danger to society or he isn’t.

And if someone is a danger to society then he should be taken off the streets altogether.

But if someone’s acts do not justify his being taken of the streets, then he should be left alone to enjoy the same rights as any free citizen.

G. Gordon Liddy said that he did not own any firearms. His wife owns them all, and there is one in every room.

I thought misdemeanor crimes had punishments of a year or less.

Ah, jeez—how did I misread that?

My apologies to coloradan, who was quite right!

True, but my point is a private sale, is what it is....private.

Cheers!

The Lautenberg amendment is the one that denies firearms possession to a person classified a “domestic violence offender,” regardless of the penalty. The fellow in the OP is covered by a different clause in the federal morass of infringement on the RKBA; “has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.”

Can Mr. Schrader get his record expunged?

-- Can Mr. Schrader get his record expunged? --

He can ask.

Keep in mind, this isn't just the court ruling (which is obnoxious), but there is a federal prosecutor on the other side, pushing the argument that this man is not fit to possesses a firearm.

There are literally hundreds of cases like this, and quite a few where the courts beclown themselves. They get away with it because they have the power.

I am of the firm view that the federal courts are deliberately intellectually corrupt when it comes to the RKBA. Unfaithful to the law, etc.

I did an expungement for someone a couple of years ago.

It wasn't difficult, just tedious.

Maybe the prosecutor is really out to get him.

“Remember from a few years back when they were giving boys, who were acting like boys in school, Ritalin or whatever ‘control drug’ was in fashion, were denied access to enlisting.”

Wow..They use to give that stuff out like penny candy..!

When did the Lautenberg amendment go into effect?

I seem to recall that this law was made retroactive, so it doesn't much matter.

Not that it's right, but that's the way it is.

Ex post facto law.

And that's why the bill's sponsor, everyone in Congress who voted for it and all the judges who approved it should be hung from lampposts.

The person who wrote that headline needs to enroll in an adult literacy program.

I despise the way the elite gets to choose what citizens can protect himself and his family and who cannot. This is not how it’s supposed to happen. I don’t see any qualifiers or rather disqualifiers in the 2A!

It very much does — any Law which alters punishments already given (sentencing) to a greater amount is an Ex Post Facto law.
See Caulder v. Bull.
