Full Faith and Credit

A Tennessee statute provides that it is a felony for a person who has been convicted of a felony drug offense to possess a firearm, and it does not make an exception for persons who have been pardoned for their crime. [More]
I always thought the only person with moral authority to pardon another was the victim.

It's unclear from this if he victimized anyone.

In any case, anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian.  If he's deemed safe enough to be allowed out running loose amongst us, why should there be a problem?

David,
Maybe I have the intellect of a goldfish, but I have seen no mechanism for the revocation of constitutionally protected rights by any act of government at any level. How then can the right to bear arms be revoked, whatever the provocation?
