The NYPD is reportedly seeking to revoke Trump's concealed carry permit
If he's still hoarding a pistol post-guilty conviction, he could be in violation of multiple laws and committing a federal crime, CNN reports.
Well yes, that's how felonies work
It should be revoked upon conviction in the same filing. It isn't, which creates a delay and that is a problem. They shouldn't be pursuing it, it should already be revoked and a sheriff or state police should have taken it from him after conviction.
I don't necessarily agree with revoking rights for non-violent felonies without exigent circumstances, but he would fit my exemption.
Permit or not, he is still a Person Prohibited upon the instant of conviction. There is no delay or filing required. It is illegal for him to possess a firearm under both New York and federal law, presence of a soon-to-be-revoked New York carry permit or not.
He can’t carry a firearm, but he can have nuclear launch codes.
Our system is so fucked.
Okay, just to be clear, he can't have those (unless America does another oopsie)
Join us for Roaring Kitty’s livestream about GameStop Friday for a demonstration of how fucked the system truly is.
It does for everyone else
Those crying “BuT hE iS a PrESiDeNT” have to remember he is a criminal who manipulated election outcomes to become a president. His felony convictions is for the crimes that predate his fraudulent election. Enough republicans were fooled into voting for a criminal aided by the enemies of the nation. That’s how we got this guy.
But they don’t acknowledge that he’s a criminal. It’s a political witch hunt, remember.
Might be crazy but I expect political leaders to be held to higher standards than the general population and to me that means that they should have the harshest consequence related to any crime they might commit...
That, unfortunately, is up to voters and fate (health, decline, etc).
We can have a justice system that dies that too, but we'd have to vote that and it would need to poll over 75% without hypocrisy.
I have a feeling that the same NRA that has been oddly silent on the subject of Hunter Biden's gun charge will make a very big deal about it if they do.
I think Trump and Hunter Biden should both be denied gun permits for their crimes.
What I'm more interested in is where is the NRA's speaking out in support of Philando Castile? Castile committed no crime and was executed by the police for not only legally owning handgun, but telling the voluntarily police about its existence his car before being executed for no reason.
Where are you, NRA? You say situations like this are your reason for being. Where are you?!
I have said the same thing about the NRA and Philando Castile multiple times. You're absolutely right. He did everything the NRA said he should have done and still got murdered and barely a peep came out of them.
I agree that neither Hunter Biden nor Donald Trump should have guns, but you know who they'll defend and who they'll stay silent about.
This is going to play really well with Trump's base. They already have been fundraising on "If Donald Trump isn't above the law, they'll be arresting you next!" I bet they're going to make a ton on, "Look, they took Trump's gun! Now they're coming for yers!"
But it wouldn't hurt to quote Trump back at them- "Take the guns first, go through due process second."
They're going to say that regardless. We should not be treating fascists with kid gloves and should be throwing the book at them.
Trump will make a big deal about giving up his gun, which he never actually owned, and then start selling replicas to chuds. I guarantee it. It will be a Chinese-made gold-plated 1911 and probably have an eagle on it.
I have no doubt that if Trump carries a gun, it's to off himself before the handcuffs are put on.
He's done his best to echo Hitler thus far. C'mon Donny, let's see that closing act.
SOP for a felony conviction.
But from what I was hearing, NYC already has 2/3 of his guns with the 3rd "transferred to Florida" and nobody knows where it is.
I'm surprised that he personally has any guns at all. He seems like the kind of person who would be afraid of actually handing them, let alone using.
In my experience, there are a lot more people out there who own guns who are kind of afraid of them than you probably think. They're afraid of everything, that's why they got a gun in the first place, and once they have it they're too afraid to actually carry it or train with it. And of course, if the time comes that they actually need to (or feel they need to) use it, they're as much or more of a danger to themselves or others with that gun as whatever it is they're feeling threatened by in that moment.
Luckily, most of the time these paranoid idiots actually live very safe lives, and their gun does no harm sitting somewhere out of sight and out of mind in their home giving them some false sense of security.
Well, you'd have to be unsteady with hands that small. ;)
TIL mushrooms qualify as a weapon.
