Why blame this on the police? In this case they are literally just doing their jobs - enforcing the law.

Take issues with the laws if you must

Why should I feel endangered if an accountant who got caught embezzling has a firearm?

But... It is easier to simply blanket all felons with the restriction.

It's federal. The state of Tennessee has done everything it can to allow nonviolent 1st offenders to have 2nd amendment rights restored.

If you can put together a rational reason a non violent offender should lose the right, then by all means.

Backtracking from the original statement of "non weapons related" to putting it as "non-violent."

There is a distinction. Violent offenders having that right revoked, at least for a period of time to prove they have been rehabilitated, I agree with. Non-violent offenders, I think it shouldn't be automatically re-instituted, but certainly given consideration and/or conditional upon their release.

I'm also good with violent offenders getting their rights back after doing their time.

I find it pretty hypocritical for people to be so sanctimonious about punishing criminals for life. In reality I'd bet at least 90% of us have done something in our lifetime that if were caught could have made us felons.

You feeling guilty? :)

I think the violent offenders shouldn't be an automatic "okay sport, ya served your time, here ya go" sort of deal. I think monitoring after release to ensure the behavior doesn't repeat itself would be prudent before those rights are given back.

Guilty? Nah, wasn't born with that emotion.

BTW we saw this going down yesterday on our way to Knoxville.

They should pay proper taxes and probably not have so many guns, but all drugs should be legal. One of the only considerations, and it's a big one, is to ensure drivers are of sound mind at all times. We could afford to ramp up enforcement and stiffen penalties for impaired driving, among other things like more funds for education, if we gave up this immoral and unwinnable war.

Their policing is what is so wrong with policing.

Use one of thousands of bs laws to stop someone so you then take it further.

+1. Always fishing. And all blessed with an uncanny ability to smell alcohol and weed better than most bloodhounds.

5-6 cop cars. My wife wondered if it was Willy.

If it was Willy, the dozen and a half cars would have been there for autographs.

Funny story about celebrity arrests and all. Martin Sheen, if you don't know, is a rabid anti-nuclear protester. And got detained during a protest at Vanderburg AFB some years ago. The folks I talked to said he was pretty chill and signed autographs while waiting to be cited for trespassing. Non-violent and wanted to prove his point.

Cool story bro and all.

Using the words from your own mouth to justify removing 2nd Amendment rights from felons the last 50 years.

Removing? No. And be careful not to cast too wide a net on your post there. Obviously your reading comprehension sucks, so go back and reread what I posted before. Perhaps you could key in on the "violent offender" portion and what I said instead of ignoring it and creating your outrage.

I read everything you said including the distinctions you made... still different than how felons were handled 50 years ago.
