This is what's wrong with, "enforce the laws already on the books". Exactly when will a law be too unjust for some of you to follow?
Smash all gun control!

If he actually did not know, then he was too ignorant to be allowed to have a gun anyway.
So should Charles Manson be allowed a gun in his cell, it is a "right" afterall?
I personally don't believe that someone should be punished forever for something they once did...
Burglary is IMHO a serious crime, with a real victim, a real injured party. Burglary is not some sort of bureaucratic paperwork violation or a victimless technicality like having 5 instead of the required 6 domestic parts on a FAL rifle....Altsman had two felony burglary convictions...
Am I supposed to feel sorry for some guy who already has two felony convictions and who is caught committing a THIRD felony!
This means that they can add legislation at their whim to restrict anyone or any group they want. They can giveth and they can taketh away.Section 2.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Under the guidelines, a sentence of at least 15 years was mandatory.
Let me ask this. Would not allowing felons to own/use firearms if they were convicted of a crime involving a firearm be fair enough? This is a prime example of where a zero tolerance policy just doesn't make any since.
Convicted felons cannot possess firearms. Period. It may not be right, but that is how it is, and this is quite common knowledge. This guy was not sent to prison for hunting on his own property, he was sent up for being an armed criminal.The Beaver Falls, Pa., man was caught on the horns of a mandatory-sentencing statute requiring a minimum 15 years imprisonment for convicted felons found in possession of a firearm. Altsman, 43, has had two burglary convictions.
