As a felon that has served his debt to society. I find it comforting to see so many people on our side to restore our rights. Thank you all.
Same here. Not all felons are dangerous. I got 2 felonies in AZ that would be low level misdemeanors in Texas ( where I reside)
U can def get them back. I am a 4 time felon. But non violent
No offense Sir…Martha Stewart is a felon too…just for perspective lol
@@lboog8293 it doesn't matter if it's violent or not. You can get your gun rights back. If you are smart and good with computers then you can do it on your own but it would probably be easier to pay the $2,000 to a lawyer and have them do all the paperwork for you!
Ñot necessary
as a former combat MARINE and former state trooper I'm gonna make this very simple for everyone to understand i took an oath to defend and protect the constitution of every single AMERICAN with or without a record so i say this strongly it doesn't matter if it's violent or nonviolent your 2nd amendment cannot not be taken away no matter what. it doesn't matter if you have a legal or an illegal firearm if you commit a crime with it you are going to jail with or without a record its that simple. a firearm is to hunt for food and to protect yourself & family. it doesn't matter if you commit a crime with or without a firearm you are being charged for the crime itself and you are going to pay for that crime it's that simple. i still don't know what part of INFRINGED in the 2nd amendment these lawmaker's do not understand. you take away a person's right to protect themselves you make him or her a permanent victim & prey sorry children the SCOTUS that is to uphold the constitution violated your rights at birth saying mommy or daddy are not allowed to protect your life cause of something they've done in the past so they have to watch and let someone take yours so the government can put that person in prison that's more important than your innocent life
Thank you for saying this and for your service 🫡
@@officialPROCLUBGOD you don't have to thank me for saying this i was just stating the facts as for my service your welcome.
Well said 😎🇺🇸🪖👍
TY
Exactly!!👍👍 Salute
If a person has paid his debt to society and is not on probation or parole all of his rights should be reinstated without prejudice.
30 years no issues
The Right to Bare Arms should never be allowed to be taken away under any circumstances. According to The United States Constitution.

I'm a 2 time felon and strongly disagree, sex crimes and violent crimes. They should lose that right for ever
That way
@@texascrimestoriesand i disagree, because they shouldnt be released. Youre a free man on the street, you have a right to defend yourself.
@texascrimestories I protected me and my fiancee 13 years ago and received an aggravated assault charge. My life was altered from that point. I truly did what I had to do and if put in that spot again would repeat what I did because my morals and mindset as a provider and protector. I disagree with you.
ALL RIGHTS should be returned when a convict has completed their sentence. No exceptions.
I’d love that…..
Don't even have to go to prison. Got a felony speeding ticket and cant own guns
@@SpaceRanger187and there was no victim
Would be nice when I was just turning 17 got in a little trouble with some friends picked up a felony for driving around a dirt track hours after a race that the gate was unlocked but closed some friends did some damage to property we all got charged spent 18 months in prison for it I was the oldest so the judge made a point of that. I’m now 52 and only 1 speeding ticket since and can’t own a gun would be nice just to own one for my family self defense essentially when the world is the way it is now if someone is committing a crime now they have guns I’m a law abiding citizen now and can’t own a gun
Man that sucks they make these new sweet air rifles you can own those no back ground check plus super quiet 😂 they make 50 cals @@treecutter116
Being able to defend yourself is a birthright. It’s time to push back against these corrupt politicians who treat us like we’re their property.
You go right ahead . And they will make an example of you .
Fact our Creator said it’s better to be armed and naked then clothed and unarmed
Abolish government

For those who do not understand the meaning of ‘'Rights, we need to make it clear once and for all: The 2nd Amendment does not apply to semi-auto rifles, nor does it apply to bolt action rifles, pistols, or revolvers. The 2nd Amendment RESTRICTS GOVERNMENT. The technology of the firearm is irrelevant.
The restrictions on government remain the same, regardless of the firearm. The Second Amendment was not written to grant permission for citizens to own and bear firearms. It forbids government interference in the right to keep and bear arms, period.
The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
This also applies to the other 'Rights!.
They are not granted, they stipulate inherent rights that the government may not prohibit."
LAW OF THE LAND
@@charlesdaniels8181 Better than being a sheep.
Thank God !!! I made a dumb mistake years ago I should have the right to defend myself just like everyone else!!
As a felon I never stopped protecting myself if you get my drift. But I need these laws to change. I've thought about this plenty of times.
Shouldn’t have gotten to this point in the first place. Government never had permission or the authority to take peoples gun rights.
When you become a criminal and start breaking major laws, you LOSE your rights as free citizens
Criminals have no rights
The government doesn't have the right to take tour voting rights either but they do under the same fact as being a felon
You get your voting rights back after you have completed all sentencing guidelines. Such as your time, parole, programs. Ect. So why not your right to bare arms. Everyone has family to protect .
@jerrylara9447 I completely agree because no where in the constitution does it say that you lose your rights
I'm a felon , so if I'm not a citizen then why do I have to pay taxes?
They can’t take your citizenship no more than your rights to life like they try and do constantly
exactly... i been saying this for years. if im not "part of the people" then i shouldnt have to pay taxes to support "the people"
Modern day slavery is all it is..Prison for profit needs felons to support itself with profit...The biggest reason cops need IDs like crack is to identify felons...The easiest targets in America to keep the money rolling...You may have an American birth certificate and SS number but your not an American if your not entitled to the Bill of rights in full...That makes you a slave to the system like it or not...
Being a felon doesn’t take away citizenship. However I believe once you’ve paid your debt to society and are released your rights should be completely restored. I don’t even believe in criminal records. Reformed means reformed
Do you LIVE HERE?
No one should ever lose their right to defend themselves or others. Period. If your safe enough to drive a truck , your safe enough to own firearms. What do people really think ( shall not be infringed ) means. It's pretty self explanatory
Time served should mean full rights restored. Doesn’t matter what you did. If you’re too violent to be in society you shouldn’t be released.
Should a child molester get a job working with children? A bank teller who stole $100,000 over the years should get a job back at the bank? What if I stole your pension at your job? Can I handle other peoples pensions now?
@@michaell1603should a child molester be allowed back into society at all? Last I checked employment was not a guaranteed constitutional right. You’re conflating issues of employment with issues of individual rights. They are not the same.
Unless you are in prison, you SHOULD be allowed to own or possess any kind of gun without restriction.
When released from prison, most felons are placed on parole, a social contract that they agree to in exchange for release in which certain rights are given up while under supervised release. I agree as soon as they are released from parole, their firearms rights should be restored automatically as are the rest of their rights.
@@1coryahicks I'll agree with you there. Halfway anyway. If they are still legally obligated to live in a specific location, like a halfway house or something, then I can understand. But simply being under supervision doesn't seem like something that would be an issue. I mean, they are already being watched closely. What's wrong with them being able to have a gun at this point?
@@1coryahicksconvicts should be evaluated before being able to bear arms.
@@1coryahicks Reword:
Some felons choose to be released early on parole.
You can choose to serve every day of the sentence and leave not on parole.
@@1coryahicksThe contract you sign says you will not own a firearm or black powder firearm while on probation. That is supervised and unsupervised. For me I had to do 1 year supervised probation and 10 years of unsupervised probation. So, after release for me I had to wait 11 years before I could file for my civil liberties back and then I could petition the court for my gun rights. But, that doesn't stop you from having to check boxes for jobs and places to rent. No place rents to a felony near me. I have to wait 5 more years after being released from unsupervised probation to be eligible for a Simple pardon. So in total for me I needed 16 years after release for a simple pardon. I am at 18 years and still do not have my rights. I was told incorrect information and found out a month ago I have been eligible. Even though their contract doesn't hold I would still be convicted as a felon in possession even after their contract ends.
If felons aren't considered "the people" than why do they have to pay taxes? If not granted the same "rights" under the constitution then they shouldn't be required to pay the same taxes as "the people"
I agree
So immigrants, whether illegal or here legally with the proper Visa documents, shouldn't have to pay taxes?
@@panhandlersparadise1733immigrants aren’t citizens of this country.
So true
@@panhandlersparadise1733 majority don't pay taxes. most work under the table
I’m a non violent felon that made a mistake many years ago as a young man, I paid my debt to society many years ago this is great news for people like us that learned from our mistakes and truly want to do things the right way
As a felon of over 27 years I refuse to acquiesce to ANYBODY telling me that I cannot protect myself or family.
Damn right brother!!
Say that my brother
And when you get another felony charge and sitting in prison who protects your family then?
@@ricksmith7659 Definitely not you. I'll take my chances like I have for almost 30 years now. Keep that fearmongering over there
@@naturalimmunity7007 don't let the facts fear you into logic. I'm sure some man will step in while your gone.
Felon or not, this is America folks. You shouldn’t be barred from self defense because you’ve made a mistake, especially since some people get charged FOR DEFENDING THEMSELVES, any and all gun laws are unconstitutional and ridiculous.
So true, furthermore, if said felon decides to abuse said rights. Then the rest of us can revoke them permanently. (It's how the 2nd amendment works people.)
So people that have committed robbery or violent assaults should be able to bare arms? No, but non violent felonies, sure.
@@BanginSevenGrams the second amendment, says shall not be infringed that means shall not be infringed
its "laws" and weapon "laws" that arent the constitution also defending yourself isnt a mistake only considered it by not those that are stupid and the corrupt government
@@mre4112no its not idiot it works that all people have that right no matter what with the "the people" (as in all people not certain people) and shall not be infringed." (infringed means limited) period. not "shall not be infringed unless____" or until____" etc like that to make it changeable in any way or for any reason or by any part of the government etc like that so shut up with your nonsense also theyll get them anyway just as easy as before because theyll go about it in non "legal"/legal ways like stealing them or buying privately etc like that 🤦🏻♂️
Anyone not in jail should retain their inalienable rights.
Its amazing that people use terms not even understanding the definition of said terms.
Even men on death row have the rigut to keep and bear arms. What they dont have is the liberty to utlize their property. The rigjt remains. Hence "in/ actually unalienable ".
After completing any parole requirements.
@@jeffbroders9781 are you God? Is gov God? End of story.
There are also restrictions placed when on probation and parole. Still, upon completion of sentence convicts retain rights as far as the constitution is concerned.
@@mufasachainbreaker7757 "as far as the constitution is concerned" the constitution is restriction on government. It doesnt grant nor give rights. Rights are natural. And cannot be taken for any reason.
Men on death row still have the right to keep and bare arms. If that doesn't make complete sense to you. And uou can't easily explain how this is. 100% that makes you the issue.
I have one misdemeanor CCW charge, and two possession of a firearm as a felon charges. I have never committed any crimes with these firearms aside from having them in and of itself. Each and every time they were for my protection as I live in a not so good neighborhood. I have four children and a wife, I am the man of my household and I know how crazy this world is and can be. I have served my debt to society, I work 50-60 hours a week and the government of course takes a little less than half my money. I just want to provide for, and protect my family and what is mine. I think I stand with THE PEOPLE when I say my rights shall NOT BE INFRINGED. If I’m good enough to be taxed to death I think it gos without saying that I should be aloud to protect my family! -THANK YOU!
Who protects your family when your in jail again? You put yourself and your family in the neighborhood you live in. Your excuses have no logic.
I am a Former Army Ranger with 2 Combat tours, Unfortunately I made a mistake (white collar) non violent that cost me my freedom for 1 year and yes I accepted my responsibility and paid my debt to society, however I have lost my rights for the rest of my life, and after deploying over seas fighting for those freedoms it’s a hard pill to swallow! Specifically not being able to protect my own family! I just hope and pray one day this can change and I am able to get my rights back! Because I am a US Citizen, patriot and a tax payer
Roger that brother !! RLTW
Inalienable rights can NOT be removed through any legal means. Hence, the word : "INALIENABLE".
Can be denied only by power crazed Tyrants pandering to emotionally disturbed gov culture hysterics! Moot point but good to know!
Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens called for a repeal of the Second Amendment.
The Right of self-defense is Inalienable.
The 2A can be repealed
Well catch yourself a felony and get out there and show the people for the people.
More legal firearms LOWER crime rates.
What about Boston, Massachusetts? They have the strictest gun laws and as a major city, started the month with 3 murders. Are there any cities in Florida or Texas, that can say that?
@@kasarnflaWas the crimes committed by people with legally obtained firearms?
@@PureBloodedwolf Illegals are purchase by legal gun owners. How else are they put on the street?? Look at the recent ATF killing of the Arkansas exec. He purchased 150 guns in 3 year just to resell them. Thats straw purchasing by definition. Multiple gun he sold turned up at crime scenes. That why the ATF target and killed him. They did a fine job that day. They got the real criminal of the street. To answer your question yes half of the deaths were by spouses who legally owned their gun. Murder suicide. Next time google your questions
You are crazy! I will tell you about your black a-- run upon the wrong cop and we will read about you on the news. I hear you black people saying all kinds of crap and at the end of the day you will always be the loser. I'm not saying we don't have the right but how much of those Rights does white people and police respect for you to use
Stay off the drugs!
There are over 80,000 Federal laws on the books and more added everyday. Believe me when I tell you, when it comes to our Federal Government, we are all Felons.
It’s refreshing to hear someone that actually understands the founding principles of the country. Well done!!
So what are laws for, if not to have the offender pay his penalty and when that's complete, they are fully restored to their previous state before the crime. I think it's called rehabilitation.
lol!!!😂 you actually BELIEVE that our prison systems REHABILITATE their prisoners!? 😂
@@sharonm.8411 Not really. But sentence paid should be enough for firearms ownership
@@sharonm.8411😆 lol, you think all criminals are never rehabilitated? You think all are dangerous? Pretty broad brush you're using.
You do know up until 1970s, they allowed felons to.join the military? You know in vast majority of states, felons can vote? If they finished their sentence, aren't on parole or probation, then rights should be restored.
The last 30-40 years, there's been an increase in the number of felonies on the books, and of overall felons in the America has increased exponentially as things that were 40 years ago a misdemeanor have been increased to felony. Example: do a little bit of vandalism or graffiti that can be a felony. Get a serious DUI in an accident? That can be a felony. Maybe as a girl scout troop leader you spent some of the money that was allocated for the troop on yourself. Boom felony.
Got an overzealous prosecutor that's mad because you supported Trump and protested outside the capitol? Felony.
@@Van_Libertysmh then they go do some more dumb stuff
@@watchyoutube9553 You don’t know this, either way.
Given how easy it is to catch a felony charge in the USA anymore I don't support automatic lose of rights for felon convictions.
In blue criminal regimes like Chi-raq or New York,
you're probably more likely to catch a felony if you're a law abiding citizen. Actual criminals generally get a ticket a are out in hours.
Well not breaking the law to begin with would be easier.
@@adamcasas6519unless your crime is of a civil matter and that civil matter is decided by a judges decision rather than you actually owing a debt
@@gregryan1149 so someone made you commit this civil matter or did you choose too? Dont do it. Simple as that.
@@adamcasas6519 I had to leave the country for a year and did not have time to file a motion to modify my arrangements so made an agreement with the person I owed. I made payments regularly and kept records of the payments. When I returned the other party and I went to the judge who decided that since I didn’t go through him the payments were deemed gifts and I was found guilty of felony contempt of court and also charged interest.
Our constitution does not state, that you have these rights only if you are not a felon. And speaking as an ex-guard who worked in a maximum security prison. I personally don't care what a person did in their past. If that person who has done their time and is to be a part of the people aka released back into society. That person once they are released should have every single one of their rights restored to them. The government does not have the right to take away your ability hunt or to protect yourself and your family. Anything and everything else is a perfect example of a cruel and unusual punishment.
As a convicted felon that served 7 years without incident, got out 14 years ago with out 1 time being in trouble. So for 21 years I have nothing more then a speeding ticket...yet I'm not allowed to protect my family. Well ill be damn. I thank the ones in government that is finally doing something about this. Anyone should be able to have a gun to hunt or defend there self and family. Instead of us being sitting ducks. Alot of people out here just made a mistake in life. And most every single person in this world has done something that could have landed their butt in jail or prison at some point on their life. They just wasn't caught. I believe in the constitution and I stand as a patriot to this great country of mine. And I will stand with every single man or woman with fire arm in hand to defend this country. Without the worry of I'm a felon and around law or military. Alot of politians had lined their pockets passing stupid laws that went against what this great country was founded on. And to me those are the true criminals. That's treason. Enough about my rant, for its just my 2 cents on this matter. But again thank you to all the officers and politians, and individuals that are standing up and fighting back on this treasonous government
Appreciate the 2 cents fam! Couldn't have said it better myself.
I lost my gun rights at 18 from a non violent charge and I haven’t been in any trouble since I pay my taxes and ho to work everyday. I would appreciate this
Me too bro and its completely bs!
SAME ! I’m pissed!!!
im 26 years old i caught a felony drugs charge when i was 18 and i regret it everyday. Id like to be able to protect my family if need be with a household firearm.
Same are we sure this is cap?
I would too. I completed my sentence and paid my dues and debts and I'm a productive part of society have no violent charges. I would absolutely love to be able to take my kids hunting.

Even ex-felons have a right to defend themselves, and as it says in the Bill of Rights, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed. Ex-cons are people too. Back in the day when people were released from jail or prison their weapons were returned to them.

To think that any laws will PREVENT a felon from acquiring a firearm is just plain stupidity. I figured we all knew this by now.
The progressive thrust is to disarm everyone, period.
Not all felons are criminals.
Therr is no difference in treatment when getting arrested for an unpaid traffic ticket or poss of a controlled substance.
Agreed, but not my point. Point is, doesn't matter what laws are in the books. If a person wants to aquire a firearm they will. Doesn't matter what the arrest record says. Doesn't matter how many felonies are on record. Laws do NOT prevent anything.
@@user-pj1vb1pv7dthis article is more if you are a felon and don’t want to catch a federal charge not about acquiring guns

Ex-felon here on a manslaughter/ kidnapping/ Attempt roberry/discharging a fire arm. All these charges just on a debt collect. Bad guys Vs Bad guys. I been out 12yrs, no mental illness, no drugs. I'm a family man and been in business 8yrs now. I deserve my gun rights back, which I will seek in 2025.
Let me known what happened 👍
Good luck brother I hope it goes well for you ❤
I have a friend who went drinking for the first time with friends the night of his high school graduation. Being stupid teenagers they snuck back to the school and threw rocks at a school bus. A bus window got broken. They all got caught. The judge of the small rural town they lived in had been arguing with my friends dad. All the other kids got minimum sentences. My friend got a year in a federal prison because he had turned 18 a couple months before graduation. He had never been in trouble before or since but has never been able to own a gun. We live in rural Alaska. Guns and can openers are total necessities out here. I'm real happy for him and everyone whose RIGHTS (not 'privilages' ) are being restored.
Convicted felon in 2004, violent is what they say, completed my time in, completed my porole with no violation, have not had any run ins w the law. I want my rights back! Anybody can be violent at any time for multitudes of reasons, its ridiculous that people think that someone doesn't have a god given right to protect themselves! We all know its the corrupt government we have.
Get all of the old charges time served . You have the right to get those charges 'EXSPUNGED '...!! First then you can get your right to register and carry..Just saying..
Thanks for the Insight
Right! It says shall not be infringed upon.
I got busted for growing weed back in ‘91…. Paid my debt to society,and my fines… got off parole early… I’d love to have my friggin gun rights back!!!!!!!!!
Me too, in 2009 but they say I can't have anything that fires a projectile,that has a trigger mechanism. Not even a crossbow,or a pellet gun,or even a paintball gun
Move to the south!!
You can’t lose inalienable rights
I was convicted at 17 years old, went to prison in 1987, did my time for drug trafficking got out did 4 years on parole haven't been in trouble again. Why can't I have a firearm?
Me as well twice I got busted growing a few plants this was 38 years ago
I wonder who decides which felons
It will end up in SCOTUS anyway 1st maybe State SC or District if federal
I did time in NC as a felon. I myself can not bear arms because I didn't have non violent felony charges. People I knew with felony drug charges or felony theft that didn't involve a gun were able to bear arms. Which is weird to me because the two major differences between me and those other people are: 1. Those people didn't didn't get caught with their guns even though as drug dealers, I promise, they used their guns illegally more than once. 2. Those people have gotten arrested more than once on felony charges and still got to keep their guns where I made the one time at 18 and never been back (even to jail) but still can't carry a firearm 27 years later. The 2nd amendment isn't a right; it's a privilege. Like freedom to travel is a right but driving a car legally is a privilege. If a "freedom" can be taken away, it's a privilege. Unlike the other inalienable rights like religion, speech, etc.
Watching this should be mandatory for all senators and congresspeople... Thank you sir
Doesn't matter if its right or wrong or okay or not i will always stay strapped. Period
So true
Shall not be infringed. Every single free man has the god given right to carry a gun and protect himself. If they can’t be trusted with a gun they shouldn’t be free. Once a man pays his dues and is released from prison that’s it. He was punished. It’s over. The day you get out of prison you should be able to go straight to the gun store.
If the person is considered to be a non citizen for being criminal then how do you find them guilty with a jury of their peers?
No where in the Constitution does it say 'except for felons'
I made a lot of dumb mistakes when I was in my teens and twenties. I did my time... paid my debt to society. I got out in 2007. I honestly have no excuses for what I did. I screwed up.
Here I am in my 40's with no gun rights and a family. I constantly think about my wife and our 9 year old little girl and protecting her. I'm screwed if someone decides to break into my house with a gun. I have a dog and that's the only sense of protection I have. Haven't been in trouble in years. Heck I haven't even gotten a speeding ticket in over 10 years. The laws need to change.
The weird thing is in my state of Lousiana, after 10 years of serving your sentence or probabtion/parole you get your gun rights back automatically but federal law states you lose them forever.
Yep, and the feds do not allow you to petition them for restoration of your gun rights.
There is an office in DC that was supposed to cover this exact issue.
Problem is, it hasn’t been funded in decades.
Get your lady a gun.
@@thomaslamb8635 Big God damned surprise.
Shiiiiiiid I wish somebody would try me , I’ll get another felony charge .
You better get you a gun regardless. I rather deal with the consequences after I've protected those I love than being a victim or die for being fearful of going back.
I'm a violent felon from almost twenty years ago... I was a kid that lived in a bad area with bad influence... I did my time and changed my life, own my own business and married with three kids! Yet I still can't vote or protect my family! I am literally being taxed without representation!... It's criminal to do people like that!! I made mistakes and spent the rest of my life making up for them
Yes you can vote,wtf are you talking about? That law changed under Obama.
@@johnnycapote9817 lol no it did not
@@johnnycapote9817 it's a state by state thing and in my state I'm not allowed to vote or even be considered for getting my rights back
There's no excuse to commit a violent crime. Lots of people grow up with bad influences and don't become violent felons. Non violent felons have a leg to stand on here but you don't.
@@ricksmith7659 shut up dude! Lol ... I'm probably one of the best most loyal good citizens you've ever known in your gated community protected life! And again I've spent my life making up for it and they're INALIENABLE Rights! Not just what some shmuck on YT thinks!
Anyone arguing to disarm those that "have paid their debt to society" doesn't understand "infringement" or "inalienable". 💯
In order to support everyone's rights, we must ALL support EVERYONE's rights.
Shall not be infringed. That makes any gum restriction laws unconstitutional.
Gum restriction?
The way you explained this was very good. Not to mention bad days some have, and "good days" that others have that the police don't catch. If you know what I mean. So it can never be based on moral. Laws should be put in place to punish law breakers, but deterrents and prevention are ambiguous, subject to the whims you spoke about. It should be anyone can have a gun, but if you use it for anything other than self defense and hunting- by by you go away for a long time- not you go away for 10-30 years just for having it.
I like how no one’s touched on the subject of how someone convicted of a MISDEMEANOR domestic violence can’t own/possess a firearm!! 😒🙄
If a person convicted of a crime cannot own a firearm after serving their sentence because they are unsafe then that person shouldnt be released. If they served their time,crestore all their rights.
It is absolutely a valid argument. If a conviction removes your right as one of the people.... then your not one of the people so your not subject to many laws and taxes and benefits. This government has always made a living on contradiction and double standards.
I didn't harm anyone 20 years ago as a convicted felon. I was 19 years old. Since then, I went to school, became a Certified Welder, and bought a home in 2021. While raising two kids on my own since 2012. Both kids are high honor roll students ( Habitually). People can grow if they have a desire, too.
This Was A Really Cool Video Shared 💚👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You can become a felon by driving without insurance
I'm sick of paying insurance, none of that money comes back 😒
Yes
I got a DWI felony 11 years ago and i haven't had as even a traffic ticket since then. So i am not a law abiding citizen because i am branded a felon?
I have the same problem
I did more than 100 days in jail...no felony and still can't own a gun...I need the experts
If you paid your debt and served your time, your rights, all of them, should be restored.
Well the constitution says you have the right to bare arms not you have the right unless you been convicted of a felony so yes you still should have the right
Really that's good.congrarts to you guy's
After nearly 27 yrs of not seeing a prison cell . I find this super interesting since most of my family members always said you’ll never be able to lawfully carry you’ll aways have to break the law ! Well so I have but times are changing for the better !
as a teenager i got a felony for selling a camera a friend gave me that ended up being stolen. it was a 100 dollar camera that some lady claimed was 1k so they gave me a felony even though i had proof that the camera was given to me and proof that they were 100 dollars brand new. it was definitely a case of trying to make and example out of me and for almost 20 years now thats kept me from owning a firearm.......its pretty terrible something like that has kept me from being able to protect myself from bears and mountain lions etc on the side of a mountain smh. i hope this is true so i can finally have my rights back
You can get your gun rights back if you write a letter to the governor of your state. It shouldn't be a problem in your case. Good luck.
You can get a felony easily for even trying to protect yourself with force. Or driving over 20 mile per hour can get you a felony also .
I got a felony for walking home from the bar intoxicated & accidentally went to the wrong house thinking it was mine & was charged with felony attempted residential entry 🤦🏻
Especially if no gun or knife is involved in felony charges
I pray this go through
This needs to be mandated across the entirety of all circuit courts in the United States. The Supreme Court needs to make an opinion to the same effect.
Thank you for this video. I am a nonviolent felon and I am trying to get my rights back. I can't find a lawyer to help me, so these cases are the only chance I have
Hello! Thank you for your support! I will include a link for you below where you can find an expungement lawyer near you that should be able to help and answer any questions you have.

I live in virgina, I was told last month by an attorney to await the outcome of Rahimi vs Supreme Court to find out my future of ever having my federal rights restored, hearing this has restored my faith! Nobody is interested in helping me get my rights back and I have no clue which way to go. Is there a way I can contact you @USCCAOfficial ?
Thanks
@@USCCAOfficialNot sure what that does anymore. I have a possession charge for a homemade firecracker they called a destructive device back in 1995. I was given 6 years joint suspension (this is in CA). I finished probation 3 years early and completed all requirements. Never doesn't a day in state custody. Never re-offended. Last year, I was given an expungement. Felony was "set aside", "dismissed", whatever. Lawyer told me it has been reduced to a misdemeanor first 17b), so I tried a NCIS check on a transfer from a friend of mine. Rejected. Challenged because I thought it was a mistake. FBI came back twice saying because it was a suspended prison sentence, it was not eligible to be reduced to a misdemeanor, and being expunged didn't change my lifetime ban. Now my only option is a governor's pardon. Just an FYI. Expunging felonies didn't restore gun rights. There's only restored if the felony is reduced first and then dismissed.
@@Jeffrey-rq2gq what state you in
Awesome news please don’t stop!!!!!!
You know what even outside of just the gun thing..... I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU JUST FOR GIVING KNOWLEDGE AND AWAKENING TO ME. I WILL LEARN A TON FROM THIS EVEN outside of our gun rights. IT JUST MADE ME REALIZE legally I NEED TO WAKE UP.
the constitution does not give me any rights, God gave me those rights, the constitution forbids the government from violating my rights
If you’re not behind bars you have the right to bar arms period like it or not.
