I'll go further all felons not on parole/probation should have full constitutional rights. There is no provision for otherwise in the constitution.

You're making the partisan attack and saying everything is not partisan. Everybody is exactly like everybody else.

That's not true One party has tried to overthrow the government take away women's rights and pollute like crazy. One party is trying to take away social security. I contend your opinion is wrong. Sorry if you disagree with me. I do believe that there should be no money in politics.

so felons (after completing their sentence) should be able to vote too?

The sponsor was basically a domestic terrorist. His bill doesn't make a distinction between violent and non violent gun and explosives runner.

Ok, but this revised law would require THREE VIOLENT FELONIES before firearm rights would be revoked. How about we meet in the middle and say 1 violent felony is too much?

The legislator that authored this is technically a non-violent felon and he’s the last person that should have access to guns.

On the one hand felons often commit further crime, on the other most of said felons just acquire weapons illegally regardless and from a legal standpoint punishment for their crime has already been served.

Realistically I'd just punish violent crime more harshly and reduce the amount a sentence can be lightened via a plea deal (in fact plea deals and the current criminal court carousel need to be retooled entirely).

Not everything is partisan. This is what happens when business and government are entrenched in corruption for decades from multiple parties maintaining status quo.

OP, you probably shouldve clarified that its only non-violent felons that would benefit from this. Not every felon. You got me slightly worried for a moment.

If you were punished for your offense, paid your debt, and rejoined the society that you were indebted to, you should be able to get all of your rights back. ESPECIALLY if you were a non-violent criminal.

We’re all fucked.

Speaking of the right to possess weapons, you know how if you have a medical cannabis card you are not supposed to be allowed to buy a gun? Since Sununu signed the law saying NH doesn’t enforce gun laws that aren’t NH gun laws, wouldn’t that be one of them? I can’t find a NH law that says you can’t have a cannabis card and a gun.

They do legal Tuesdays the first Tuesday of the month and he hops on and answers questions. Great way to promote yourself

Well these cops are big enough asses to cover her

The guy who helped acquire weapons for an armed standoff with the Feds?

His bill is highly self-motivated. Rep. Gerhard is an ex-felon and wants his guns back.

He was in prison because he provided guns and explosives for an anti-government standoff in Plainfield, NH. This bill and his motivations is highly dangerous.

Non-violent felons shouldn't have constitutional rights taken away.

burning it in an incinerator is a lot different than lighting a pit full of it and other chemicals on fire

Yup free

For free? I might have a buddy who wants it.

I never expected anyone to work for free. I paid a hefty sum and so far I estimate he has done a total of maybe two or three hours work on my case. He just has his secretaries handle everything. He certainly has taken no steps at all to improve my case. It's all I can do to get him to even speak to me briefly every six or eight months, and that takes weeks of nagging.

Lol nice

Yes, it would definitely be better to have a criminal record. I've already been "doxxed" twice by online troll who found just the announcement of my arrest online at the local police blotter. Not going to give them the added ammo.

Oddly, I had seen him on Justia and flagged him as a possibility. Never knew he was a Personality.
