What can a convicted felon do for self-defense? #shorts

[tyquanwashington.]

Free men don't ask permission. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

If you paid your debt to society, you should have full rights. If you think there is a good chance to re-offend, don't let them out of prison.

[christopherduncan]

The second amendment doesn't say "the right of the people to keep and bear arms *shall not be infringed* unless you're a felon", most felonies are actually nonviolent crimes. Why are we taking away the basic human rights of people who, years ago, committed a crime and then served time in prison for it? If someone is no longer in prison for whatever nonviolent crime they may have committed they deserve their rights back. All of them. And they shouldn't have to go through some bureaucratic process that's expensive on its own without even bringing up the fact that it's practically impossible to navigate if you don't also have the money for a lawyer. This goes double for the right to vote. These restrictions aren't for people's safety or to stop crime, it's so the government can control the people.

Better to catch a charge for prohibited possession of a firearm than to be defenseless in a life or death situation. Judged by 12 or carried by 6 type of deal.

All non violent felons should absolutely get their gun rights restored. Just 120 years ago they gave you your gun back on your way out of jail.

[Watchdog_McCoy_.x]

All free men have the right to keep and bear arms. ALL OF THEM!!
Idgaf what crime you committed. If you served your time and were released from prison, you deserve the right to keep and bear arms, period.

Black powder revolver has entered the chat

[conradwilliams]

This is America the Constitution clearly reads shall not be infringed... Nowhere in that does it say anything about being a felon?... Literally just says shell not be infringed. Stay armed!

[brianburkhard]

If you're a non violent felon, you should get your gun rights back.

[desmondblack]

Black powder revolver isn't considered a firearm.

[patrickskelly]

The right to bare arms. I don't see any exceptions in the 2nd.

[angiesmith]

ITS NOT A RIGHT IF IT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY FOR ANY REASON!!! SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!! Any and all restrictive laws are unconstitutional

[batl_born]

Typical non answer which attorneys are famous for. Keep in mind these are the types of people that wrote these garbage laws to begin with. Attorneys should be barred from holding public office.

[samuelelliott]

That's Lawyer talk for he doesn't know

[jerryrigsit]

Unless the felon used a gun in a crime he shouldn't be restricted.

[geoffreygreen]

Nowhere in the Bill of Rights does it say unless you are a felon! It says Shall Not Be Infringed. Period. All gun laws are illegal.

[davidzielsdorf]

For a well regulated milita the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Now where does it say unless a felon.

[ridge]

My dad had a black powder revolver. Had like 3 cylinders for it he kept loaded

[justiceparker]

As a fellow defense attorney of ten years experience, that answer did not provide any answers whatsoever, except to: check the law in your local jurisdiction and specific case. Lol

It's called bass pro shop, traditions black powder pistol. 100% legal. Black powder guns are NOT considered FIREARMS.
