Supreme Court Makes Major Gun Ruling

Post by Greybeard »

WASHINGTON (AP) — A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that the government can’t prevent a convicted felon who is barred from possessing firearms from trying to sell his guns after they are confiscated by authorities.

Years ago it was suggested that, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works great!

Makes sense to me. He can't legally keep them but if he acquired them legally prior to becoming a felon why shouldn't he get his money (or at least some of it) out of them?

They still got it wrong. He should be allowed to sell them because they are his personal property - period. The Court has no business being "satisfied" that he will not be allowed access to them via the new buyer. That issue is already covered under existing law.

Perhaps the first step towards the end of "may issue"?
