I’m going to sound like a crazy man here, but where does it say in the constitution that you lose your rights once you are convicted or after you have done your sentence.
If you lose your rights forever, are you not in fact doing a life sentence?

No way — where’s the fire that all firearms produce to expel the bullet?

Hopefully this will be reversed on appeal.

such a law is unconstitutional, period.
also, it continues in effect punishment for convictions....
effectively imposing cruel and unusual punishment since it apparently extends many ordinary crimes into life (or very very long) sentences?
there are two strong grounds to have a law firm seek to overturn this ridiculous statute

Another stupid and dangerous precedent set by a judge and some dumba$$ DA. Now are we all to go and register our BB guns?

Bow & Arrow are also considered a “firearm”.

A 5.5 grain bb at 800 fps (both typical) has a muzzle energy of 8 foot pounds.
A 36 grain .22 LR at a standard velocity of 1070 fps (both typical) has a muzzle energy of 91 foot pounds.
These are not comparable, and I used just about the smallest firearm caliber in common use. A 12 gauge shotgun can hit 3,000 foot pounds easily.
What about the dictionary definition? /ˈfaɪərˌɑːm/ a weapon, esp a portable gun or pistol, from which a projectile can be discharged by an explosion caused by igniting gunpowder. This was (as the article noted) not a firearm under the common definition.
This is just another typical case of a black-robed thug making up rules and using force to impose those invented rules on others. It's not too different from the white-robed thugs in the days of the Klan, except that out tax dollars are subsidizing this petty tyrant's hobby.

You’ve done the penalty. Good bye and have a nice day. Having a conviction following you for the rest of your life is a life sentence.

The essential ingredient in a firearm is fire...an airgun is explicitly unregulated because it doesn’t use fire to accelerate the projectile.

Minnesota court: BB gun is a ‘firearm’ Typical judicial idiocy. What part does the "fire" come out of Judges? You do know that the word FIRE-Arm comes from the fact that fire is what expels the projectile?
No, they are stupid and think compressed air is the same thing as "fire".
