ALOT....

Obama smoked and he has his finger on the nuclear trigger?

Real funny when you think of it

That type of arrest would not have disquified him from being president

In NJ Vets fight to defend the rights of their countrymen, only to have their rights stripped away upon returning home....

"were unable to even find records of the conviction because it is so old.were unable to even find records of the conviction because it is so old."

 

Isn't there some sort of burden of proof?

Unbelievable.  He spent 20 years handling weapons for our nation's defense, and now he is deemed ineligible?

 

Sounds like this happens a lot:

"In February, we reported on Navy vet Jeff Schrader, whose story closely resembles that of Kelly’s. Schrader, too, was convicted of misdemeanor as a young man (for a fight). He paid a $109 fine and went on with his life. But when he tried to buy a gun 45 years later, the law had changed: the misdemeanor penalty for his crime back then, now caries with it a possible penalty of up to two or more years in jail. Because of that, he has been disqualified from owning a gun."

Doesn't this violate article I proscription on ex post facto laws?

 

Sounds like this happens a lot:

 

even more so but undocumented.  I was talking to a VA release of information officer yesterday and she was telling me that there are hundreds and hundreds of NJ vets alone that REFUSE to even talk to the VA because of unofficial repricutions.  Not only about gun rights but actions at their units.  Fighting for the rights of the people only to have them stripped himself...

where is the aclu?  unreal

I don't understand how he was turned down.. I was also picked up for pot about a decade ago. I didnt write that once on my paperwork and was turned down, but I've written it ever since and haven't been turned down.

Anything other than crickets chirping will be a lie.
