The Supreme Court Monday declined to take a challenge to a Wisconsin law banning state residents who have been convicted of felonies – including non-violent crimes – from owning handguns for the rest of their lives...The question of whether states can ban non-violent felons from owning guns has repeatedly come up at the Supreme Court but remains unanswered. The justices declined to take up three similar challenges earlier this year, allowing to stand lower court rulings that upheld similar state laws. One of those cases involved a man who had pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit cassette tapes in the 1980s. [More]
Well, not just "handguns," but we're dealing with "real reporters" here.
Funny, what can constitute a "non-violent crime"...
Let's hear it for "gun rights leaders" who urge government to "Enforce existing gun laws"!
And thanks again, "conservative" justices!
