Sorry, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Wow! Who would have thought he would be held responsible for his own actions? I really have no sympathy for him. I do have sympathy for the rest of his family.

If there was only a way to avoid this. Oh wait, there is. Don't break the law.

i hear dont break the law, dont break the law. one should do a search across this nation of the little things that if convicted one becomes a felon. it is enough to scare the crap out of a law abiding person.

Fill us in on the felonies we need to worry about unknowingly committing?

I only know two people that are trying to get their gun rights back, but neither deny committing their crime or say that they didn’t know it was a crime when they were committing it.

I am soon to be 47, I have never had a hankering to violate any law that would lead me to be a felon, its not in my DNA.  For that matter, no one in my family or extended family is a felon, and as for as I know, I know no one on a first name basis that has been a convicted felon.

wish i was compter savvy enough to do it. wont ever be but i have read that there are over 20 k weapons  statutes on the books. how many of u can quote them all if so.

I am sure I am not violating any felony weapons laws. Most are common sense, some are very specific. Most of the people violating those laws know full well they are poking the bear, and they want to cry like babies when they get slapped. Most involve playing the NFA game or transporting across state lines. If you want to play that game; that’s great, but you sure better know the laws and rules.

I agree that more crimes have been moved to felony class and I think part of that reason is to restrict fire arm ownership under the guise of being tough on criminals.

i have a good friend retired from one of the alphabet agencies  had several people under him to tell me with a grin " you are probably breaking statues and dont know it"  if i want i can put your name in the computer and have better than 90 percent chance getting you. will leave it be with this.
