@TE, see my response to Debbie. Here it is again:

About 5 years ago, when I was still on probation, I did some extensive research on the U.S. Constitution after a conversation with my P.O. about owning firearms (for protection). I found a section of the U.S. Constitution that said the ONLY people not allowed to own firearms are those who committed “an act of treason or war” against the country.
A felony conviction is NOT an act of treason or war.
I am trying to find that section again but I find myself getting sidetracked and not putting in as much effort as I did when I first found it.

“Expedited”?!!!! That is beyond hilarious. I think I’m reading that you said 2010. Now you must request that it be “expedited”?

When are all of us ever going to get tired enough of this big government HS? Could they be more incompetent if they tried? Good thing they don’t cost much money or I’d have to think that big government is not a very good deal. We need to run these big government out of office permanently. Vote for people who oppose big government, their billion “laws”, and Registries and other idiocy.

I really feel like most everything dealing with government needs to be set up so that it happens automatically. There should be no “petitioning” for anything. I think because:

They have no clue what they are doing. They don’t know a “good” petition from a “bad” one and they aren’t making sensible decisions no matter what. They are incompetent.
They create “petitions” and these giant bureaucratic schemes in order to try to make it look as if it is sensible, has some gravitas, and there is some merit to it. All wrong. It is just putting lipstick on a pig.
They create “petitions” and these giant bureaucratic schemes in order to help big government stay big and keep feeding them “work” to do. Lots of people need jobs. So they create giant businesses for it all.

End nanny big government.

That is correct. Violence is A-OK in America. Nothing new here. As long as nobody looks at or potentially thinks about anyone in a sexual way, or crosses a boundary and touches someone in an inappropriate way, violence is looked at as “Business as usual”.

That’s the issue this court needs to decide— whether it constitutes a poll tax.

Or, automatically restore all your rights once you have finished your sentence regardless of the crime you committed. No need for a clemency board and having to beg to one to restore your rights. They are easily taken away once you’re convicted, they should be easily restored once you finish the sentence — automatically.

There is a SEPARATE Federal lawsuit – that one is still on track!

Restoration of voting rights does not include firearms – you need to apply for that additionally.
