BREAKING: Obama Commute Sentences of 56 Federal Prisoners with Firearms-Related Convictions
Truth About Guns ^ | 8/3/16 | Robert Farago

Posted on 08/03/2016 3:49:32 PM PDT by Nachum

“President Barack Obama announced on Wednesday that he is shortening prison sentences for 214 federal prisoners,” dailycaller.com reports. “56 of whom have firearms related convictions on their records. The mass commutation is the largest ever issued in a single day U.S. history, the White House said in a press release.” Click here to read the doc, which describes the crimes committed.

The commutations all take effect December 1. On that date, the prison system will release all 214 federal prisoners named. The commutations are almost all related to offenders serving time for drug offenses. Dealing, not using. And some manufacturing, too. Not to mention Sharon Price, convicted of money laundering.

And again for the third time today on articles like this: How many of the beneficiaries of this largess are WHITE?

No one will answer.

Those with fire arms convictions will now be able to go out and buy guns because a full pardon wipes the slate clean. I wonder what Bernie supporters think about that.

There is an important difference between a pardon and a commutation.

It’s almost like we’re a narcostate with a druggie for a President.

So what kind of deal has our dear leader made with each of these people. O is not the type of person to do something without a motivation. He is up to something bad as always.

Maybe this is part of his civilian army he said we must have during his 2008 campaign and I am serious.

I don't know the particulars here, but generally there's far too many US citizens imprisoned by our oppressive government.

Is it possible that Obama did something I might agree with? It's like pondering perpetual motion or time travel.

They don’t get out until after the election December 1st according to the article. So I am afraid it is more nafarious than the election.

I reckon he wants some more experienced gunsels for his private army / #BLM CopKiller rabble.

You can bet there are no “Randy Weaver” types among these guys.

The judges around my parts hand out 20-30 years pretty regularly for the coke dealers.

The methheads get similar sentences, but seldom are they not locals and firearms are not usually part of the bust.

With the cocaine dealers, almost every single one is from a hundred miles away in Chicago or Detroit, they have long records and are also violating several federal firearm laws but are pretty much never prosecuted by the Feds..

I would bet that most of them held their firearm sideways.

Zip, zilch, nada. The big goose egg. That's the safe bet, until someone publishes details to the contrary.
