Open Carry Activist Charged With Shooting Death Of Husband, Stepdaughter
A member of Open Carry Tarrant County and Open Carry Texas, is facing capital murder charges after two people were discovered shot dead in her home. Veronica Dunnachie, 35, was arrested by police as she drove herself to a nearby mental hospital following the shooting.
[su_center_ad]Officials said they were treating the slayings as a domestic homicide, The Dallas Morning News reports.
Veronica Dunnachie, 35, is in custody and bail had not yet been set, according to the police.
According to Tarrant County records, the residence is owned by Russell Dunnachie, a house where Veronica reportedly lived with her husband, their three young children and his adult daughter from a previous relationship.
However, relatives of Veronica Dunnachie said she was no longer living at the home and court records indicated she filed for divorce in October.
The bodies of her alleged victims were discovered after police were called to perform a welfare check at the house.
A nearby Elementary School was briefly placed on lockdown. The lockdown was lifted shortly after Dunnachie was taken into custody.
According to a cousin, Elizabeth Rojas, Dunnachie had distanced herself from their family in recent years, and they had not seen her in nearly three weeks.
She said her cousin was an avid gun user and regularly posted about her gun use on Facebook. Those pictures were circulated by Open Carry groups.
Dunnachie has been actively involved in open carry rallies that have been staged at businesses like Target.
In the following image, Dunnachie is on the left, the wife of Kory Watkins, leader of Open Carry Tarrant County is on the right at an open carry rally in Target’s parking lot.
Fortunately, Target responded to a call from Moms Demand Action to end open carry of guns in stores and parking lots, and now asks customers to leave their guns at home. Unfortunately, Kroger has not agreed to ending this practice in their stores, even after sustained pressure from Moms, leaving their customers at risk.
C.J. Grisham, leader of Open Carry Texas, will surely deny that she was a member of his extremist group of gun toting miscreants, but there are screen shots which have circulated which will counter any denials by him and I’ll be happy to tweet them out, because I’m nice like that.
His response to the deaths in which he’s intentionally vague:
Travis Raymond Kuenstler asks CJ Grisham on Facebook to “Please delete your post and encourage others to do the same, privately.”
She ‘likes’ him, too.
Bobby is not surprised.
Amy is a gun nut and testifies at everything in support of expanding gun rights. Today, she has the sads.
“Mama didn’t raise no victim,” writes Open Carry Tarrant County.
Here she is posing with a group of armed men and women on a city park full of families and children in Ft. Worth, Texas:
Here Dunnachie is at another Texas business with Open Carry activists. The man to her left is Guy Potter, he was part of the group that menaced Moms Demand Action members last November in Arlington, TX:
Here she is looking like every other Open Carry activist. Size matters, amirite?
Veronica, just like her colleagues with the aforementioned gun groups, objects to a ban on open carrying firearms in Kroger. You see, they are all law-abiding citizens, that is, until one of them opens fire.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are asking Kroger to end the practice of open carry in its stores for exactly this reason. This woman is a close associate of at least two of the folks that have been photographed carrying fully loaded high capacity weapons inside Kroger grocery store locations. Kory and Janie Watkins (both with extensive arrest records of their own) are pictured with Dunnachie in the image above.
Kory and Janie Watkin’s mugshots:
Janie Watkins at a Dallas area Kroger store.
I’ve said this countless times: We don’t know who these Open Carriers are so how are we to determine which one is a “good guy with a gun” because obviously, Veronica isn’t.
Watch:
Big thanks to my source whose anonymity will be respected here. Also, thanks to CoCo, a gun owner with gun sense.

I don’t dispute the results of the poll.
I just think it is so typical of right wing hypocrisy that you accept as immutable laws of physics, any poll which supports your opinions.
But when the same organization conducts a poll on some issue which completely contradicts your opinion, some of you claim the poll is biased and worthless.
Incidentally, I am a gun-owner, AND support gun control. So put that into your cognitive dissonance backpack.

Roe v. Wade at 40: Most Oppose Overturning Abortion Decision
As the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision approaches, the public remains opposed to completely overturning the historic ruling on abortion. More than six-in-ten (63%) say they would not like to see the court completely overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman’s constitutional right to abortion at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Only about three-in-ten (29%) would like to see the ruling overturned. These opinions are little changed from surveys conducted 10 and 20 years ago.

Unfortunately, gun control is not the only thing dying. Countless lives are taken each and everyday because it’s too damn easy to kill someone with the cute little plastic handguns and “them ones that make you look like Rambo.” Until the gun nuts of this country concede on handguns and assault rifles, they all share a little drop of blood for every victim that is killed. And at this point, all those little drops are really adding up.

And they somehow managed to bring her in without killing her. Funny how that works.

Why did she kill them? need to know the true story first before judging. What if the husband was abusing the kids? cheated on her…we don’t know yet. why kill the other kid?
Morel Ardell Carr December 11th, 2014 at 10:50 pm
Her and her children weren’t even living there anymore, Carol. The other victim was her estranged husband’s daughter, not her own.

Because she’s a gun toting asshole.
” What if the husband was abusing the kids? cheated on her”.

are you by any chance related to this woman? no, coward? each of your post reflects to abuse of some kind, thereby exusing her for murder. and you don’t go killing your ex/spouse and their daughter over an affair. that’s simply called a motive, not an excuse. true story… she’s a nut case like the rest of the gun nuts, who shouldn’t own guns and she murdered two people, how’s that? and you’re likely some gun nut as well, because you’re definitely not addressing the article and the irony of it all. abused my a$$!
Carol Saia December 13th, 2014 at 1:31 am
honey, I don’t own a gun. I am against them, generally. Look up statistics and educate yourself about child abuse and crime, child abuse and personality disorders. I looked up the article, she looks like a wacko from her pictures, I agree with you, that background checks must be mandatory, but some people are real good at hiding their true selves. Check out the book, Malignant Self Love, Narcissism Revisited, by Sam Vaknin or “Abused Boys “, by ?
gun and knife enthusiasts are usually abused child/adults. Some are just warrior types. Past Life issues…maybe they were murdered or their family was in a previous life. See the book, Many Lives, Many Masters, by DR. Brian Weiss, or the new book called “Soul Survivor”. Life and death is Grander that we think. “Saved by the Light”, Dannion Brinkeley, Vietnam Vet.
Johnny_H December 12th, 2014 at 1:34 pm
You are correct that all of the facts are not out there. But one piece of information that is out, according to media reports such as the coverage of this incident in the NY Daily News, is that the judge handling the divorce case had ordered Veronica to move out of the house.
If one of the possibilities you suggest were to be the case, I presume that it is more likely that her husband would have been the one ordered out. Could be totally off base on that but at least the notion is supported by the details reported so far and not complete speculation as is this idea that there may have been some abuse that you keep putting forward.

When one responds to this crap with this sociopathic comment, “Many people die every day. This circumstance is no different than all the others”, it’s easy to surmise that some of these wingers own guns like it’s either a fetish or simply obsessive compulsive behavior.

I’ve grown past that so enjoy your “penis” references, I’m sure we all get a chuckle from your lame tactics. Gov. Perry has been indicted, yes. Being indicted still, in Texas, allows him the ownership of all his weapons and ammo unlike you improperly asserted earlier. Your list constituting what is a felon does not pertain to Gov Perry as he has not, as of this writing, been found guilty.

Their gun laws have also been ruled too restrictive. Problem is they don’t seem to want to obey the decision and are having to be sued to comply with a court decision they don’t agree with.
In Palmer v. D.C. they are trying to get Judge Scullin to hold the city in contempt of his order to enact a licensing mechanism “enabling people to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.”

US Military weapons are “well regulated” that’s why they’re “required to keep guns and ammo in a stockade armory.”-per the “well regulated”-2nd Amendment. Remember to keep arms inside the car at all times….

Obewon December 13th, 2014 at 3:04 pm
TX Guber Rick Perry as required surrendered any guns and ammo he possessed and is legally barred from purchasing any guns and ammo.
“No right is absolute”: Perry like all indicted and or convicted felons are barred from possessing guns and ammo. Also barred from guns and ammo in the USA besides “Felons” are: those under judicial restraining orders, legally adjudicated mental defectives, Dishonorably discharged Veterans, those on DHS & FBI watchlists, and non U.S. citizens.
Steve Harmon December 13th, 2014 at 4:27 pm
I fail to see the connection between Gov. Perry and myself, maybe you can try to explain when you have a moment.
Steve Harmon December 13th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
Oh, by the way, seing as you appear to want to present yourself as an expert on gun laws, let me correct you. You mentioned the Gov. is “barred from possessing guns and ammo”. That is incorrect as he is not a “convicted” felon. As such, he is free to keep as many guns and as much ammo as he already owns. He’s free to carry his guns on his property. There, you’re welcome for the education. My ignorance? Nope, my truthful guidance. unlike some that seem to be agenda driven, I welcome discussion and the chance to learn new things. Sorry, you have the wrong Steve Harmon in mind as I meet none of the criteria you set forth. I legally own all 15+ weapons in my possession and more ammo than I could envision using. Threw that part in just to get your blood pressure up a few points.

Oh, by the way, we have this thing in the legal system called, “innocent until proven guilty”. Gov. Perry was indicted not found guilty, hence, not an “indicted felon”, please try to keep up. There is this thing called Google, it’s a great resource for the uninformed, like you.

Guber Perry was Ordered Disarmed by the Judge because he is an Indicted Felon on many felony charges.
1) Perry lost his attempt to have his case dismissed without any “Trial”-Fact!
2) Perry remains ‘legally barred from guns and ammo possession’-Fact!
3) ‘Perry Hasn’t been tried yet’-Fact!
4) “Gov. Perry was indicted not found guilty, hence, not an “indicted felon”-Steve Harmon is a Delusional Liar-Fact!
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 3:37 pm
Nice try Obewon (odd screen name for someone with so little knowledge) but, nope. Indicted by a grand jury does not = felon. As such all I have said about this before is “fact”, your’s is simply wishful thinking but nice try. Unfortunately for you, people do not rely on you for facts as evidenced by the lack of people assigning “up votes” to you, so sad. Keep trying though, “penis boy”, someday someone other than ted will believe you.

Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 4:00 pm
Thanks. Nope, Gov. Perry was not ordered disarmed by a judge and I can prove it. Please direct us all to any website that has pics of law enforcement arriving at Gov. Perry’s residence to collect his arsenal (quite large) and ammunition. I’m sure your gun-grabbing buddies would have covered that extensively. There is no such thing as an “indicted felon” until after someone is found guilty, in a court, of any felony charges. Of course, I and anyone else convicted felony could have their guns taken, what a stupid statement. Just to clear things up, when and by whom was Gov. Perry ordered disarmed. I have searched and found no such order. So, once again, you’re a liar but no surprise there, at least you are consistent. What’s the Judge’s name liar? Come on liar, what’s his name? Ha ha ha, busted for lying again, wow, this is too easy, liar.

Where, in that article, does it say Gov. Perry has been ordered, by any judge, since you can’t name one, to turn any of his guns over to any authority? Keep trying but we all know you to be the whiny, insignificant little libidiot liar that you are. Once again thank you for proving my point with the reference you’ve provided. Keep trying liar, we all anxiously await the judges name that issued the order to turn over all his weapons and ammo.

Nope, I thanked the liyin little libidiot (filthy mouth?) for the link as it proves all the points I’ve been making on the subject. The lying little libidiot has yet to prove his assertion that a judge has ordered Gov. Perry to relinquish his weaponry. I would think your use of the term, “teabagg” (two g’s?) is the only filthy mouth employed here. Try to keep up tracey. Facts are difficult to dispute unless you are, yourself, a lying libidiot.

‘Any indicted Tx felons facing 1 year in prison may not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms.’ Weapon or ammo Possession is another felony charge against indicted felony teabagger Ricky-Bobby Perry.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 7:32 pm
Ahh ha ha, poor little thing, you try so hard but that’s exactly what I’ve been saying, he may not purchase guns or ammo, he must not carry concealed, we agree. Where is the reference to your assertion that he must turn over any guns or ammo that he already owns? You lose again liar. What, again, is the judge’s name that ordered him to turn over the guns and ammo that is already in his possession? Typical little lying libidiot, you make statements that you cannot back up with evidence. Keep trying though, I’ll be anxiously waiting for that name (that doesn’t exist) or for you to admit you lied, either will do.

Perry’s crime is a state crime. Rights restoration for state crimes can be restored judicially on state level. Only a federal crime requires a pardon.
Minnesota, a blue state I believe, has some of the most lax laws dealing with this.
http://www.sog.unc.edu/node/2673
http://www.justice.gov/usao/eousa/foia_reading_room/usam/title9/crm01435.htm
http://blogs.findlaw.com/blotter/2012/08/how-to-restore-gun-rights-after-a-felony.html
Perhaps the most lenient state on gun rights restoration is Minnesota. In this state, non-violent felons can regain their firearms rights as soon as they complete their sentences, reports the Times. And people who have committed a violent felony can petition a court to have their rights restored without even notifying prosecutors.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, California has perhaps the most difficult laws to regain gun rights. In California, a felon would have to receive a pardon from the governor to regain the ability to legally carry a gun.
Obewon December 16th, 2014 at 8:57 pm

Ask Guber Ricky-Bobby to buy you or himself Guns & Ammo and see how fast he’ll be charged with additional felonies! Under federal law, he is prohibited from buying guns and ammunition while under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year. Guber Perry is charged with abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, and coercion of a public official, a third-degree felony, handed down by a state grand jury. He faces up to 99 years in jail if convicted of the first-degree felony!

amongoose December 17th, 2014 at 8:41 am
Rick Perry may not buy a weapon but can keep what he owns now. Right to own is only lost on conviction. It is temporary seizure in cases such as domestic abuse, restraining orders and such where a someones life is in danger. And no one can buy a weapon for another person, that is a straw purchase prohibited by federal law.
I came to this site by invitation in an email. I came due to my respect for the founder Alan. Although I may disagree with him on about everything except civil rights, and surveillance I respect him. He argues his point with civility and class which I assumed on a site founded by him I would find unlike most left and right side sites. It looks like I was wrong.
You do a diservice to civilized discourse as well as dishonor him with your constant abusive diatribes and petty insults.
You really need to lose the hate, it is going to eat you up inside, if it already hasn’t.
I can disagree with someone and not hate them, you it seems can’t do that.
A few lessons on proper and civil debate would be in your best interests. As would be aquiring some non-abrasive people skills. I would recomend Dale Carnige’s “How to win friends and influence people”. You don’t seem to like to refute arguments with anything but hateful insults, inuendos, and slurs. You seem to prefer an echo chamber to an exchange of ideas. Sad, because without the free flow of ideas you can’t grow, you can only rot.
Getting a straight answer is it seems is absolutely impossible. It is easier to influence someone if you are reasonable rather than constantly and venomously combative.
It seems to me that a caring, compassionate liberal would believe in giving second chances, but your refusal to commit to whether you personally think felons should be allowed restoration of rights makes me doubt your compassion and love for your fellow man.

Teddy teddy, If you can follow along you will find that I was referring to “penis” boys reference to “well regulated” in the 2nd amendment.

Please, for the sake of all that follow these postings, try to keep up, it makes it much more enjoyable for them.
ted December 14th, 2014 at 10:57 am
Stevie, Stevie, the 2nd Amendment isn’t that long but maybe you need to have someone read it to you. It says “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed.” It doesn’t say “Every beer guzzling, tin-foil hat wearing inbred Goober with the IQ of a potato has the right to intimidate mothers with their children shopping at Kroger.”
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 11:11 am
Ahhhh ha ha ha, just the kind of response I was expecting from you, very good, perfect lying libidiot reply, thanks for not disappointing. By the way, very good writing of the second amendment, now try to find someone to explain it to you. You may want to ask yourself how gun shops can, legally, sell guns to anyone that doesn’t have proof they are in, “A well regulated Militia. Haven’t you ever wondered about that?

Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 7:21 pm
Please do try to follow along, will you? Okay, to humor you, are probably referring to the first part that mentions the Militia. If that is what you are referring to then maybe you, unlike the other lying libidiot that I’ve had conversations with, can explain how it is that hundreds of millions of guns have been legally sold to citizens, like me, without the requirement to prove our affiliation with or to any Militia. Please address that for us all little one. Poor thing, you try so hard, so sad.

“Your kind always brietbart which is lying”? What is it you are trying to say?

You might want to have someone READ the Constitution to you sometime. A bunch of beer guzzling skeered yahoos with an IQ that matches their belt size, packing heat because there is potentially a boogieman in the produce aisle at Kroger does not meet the definition of a “well regulated militia”.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 10:33 am
I always keep a copy near so as to educate the ignorant, such as yourself. Any questions that I may help clear up for you? You may want to re-read the 2nd amendment. When you do, you will find it refers to two different things, one being “a well regulated militia and secondly, the right of the people. I am not in a militia and, when I legally purchased my firearms, over the years, was never asked to prove that I was. How’s that possible, an ignorant libidiot, such as yourself, might ask. It’s all there in the 2nd amendment. Pisses you off to be wrong but that’s exactly what all you little whiners are, wrong. To prove that, you can’t point to one SCOTUS decision that finds I must be in a militia in order to, legally, own firearms. Ha ha, you lose, but you already knew that, didn’t you little one. There, there, it’s okay, someday you’ll learn. That’s why I’m here, to teach, you’re welcome. Merry Christmas.
ted December 14th, 2014 at 11:16 am
Just because there is a comma there doesn’t mean it is talking about “two different things” and the intent was so the colonies could defend themselves from tyranny. It doesn’t say anything about a bunch of insecure, paranoid, neurotic, skeered, John Wayne wannabes who need a gun to feel like a man.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 11:43 am
Okay then, I’ll ask again, how is it that guns may be sold to those of us that have no affiliation to or with a Militia? You certainly enjoy throwing out your fantasy descriptions of gun owners and I find it very entertaining to see that when you know that your argument is weak that attempted denigration is always your “go-to”. So predictable and funny. Can’t wait for your reply, ha ha.

While technically correct they are disingenuous at best.
As with anyone with an agenda you have to dig a bit sometimes.
Guns in the home do deter crime, according to a new study done for the U.S. Department of Justice by James Wright.
Wright, a professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, surveyed more than 1,800 inmates, all convicted of felonies, in 10 state prisons across the nation. He found that 80 percent reported that burglars avoid houses when people are home because ”they fear getting shot during the crime.”

Why? Are you too stupid to Google it yourself? Well, here ya go Jethro:
In 2010, unintentional firearm injuries caused the deaths of 606 people.
Between 1955 and 1975, the Vietnam War killed over 58,000 American
soldiers – less than the number of civilians killed with guns in the
U.S. in an average two-year period
From 2005-2010, almost 3,800 people in the U.S. died from unintentional shootings.
Over 1,300 victims of unintentional shootings for the period 2005–2010 were under 25 years of age.
People of all age groups are significantly more likely to die from
unintentional firearm injuries when they live in states with more guns, relative to states with fewer guns. On average, states with the highest gun levels had nine times the rate of unintentional firearms deaths compared to states with the lowest gun levels.
A federal government study of unintentional shootings found that 8%
of such shooting deaths resulted from shots fired by children under the age of six.
Steve Harmon December 14th, 2014 at 11:38 am
Yup, that’s me, too stupid. Now lets get to some more “facts”. As many as 200,000 women use a firearm each year to defend themselves from sexual attacks, even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self defense, citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1527 to 606), every year as many as 500,000 defend themselves with a firearm while away from home, State which passed concealed carry laws reduced their rate of murder 8.5%, rape by 5%, aggrivated assault by 7% and robbery by 3%. See, we both have “facts”, so what? How many of the civilians that you mention having died from gunshots (in the thousands as you mentioned) were criminals? How will you disarm those that possess guns illegally? Whine all you want, libidiot, you anti-gunners will never win and us “tin foil hat wearing, beer belly, blah blah blah, Patriotic Americans will not be disarmed, as long as we follow the law, and that pisses elitist losers like you off to no end, ha ha ha, we win, you lose.

So was she the “good guy with a gun”? I’m confused here.
Steve Harmon December 12th, 2014 at 11:02 am
Nope, just another loon that shouldn’t been near a gun. Two dead vs the 92, on average, that died in auto accidents on that day. Ban all “assault” autos? That leaves 270,000,000 guns that didn’t, unlawfully, shoot someone that day, what’s your point?

Except, those were auto ACCIDENTS, as opposed to some ammosexual purposely shooting and killing her family. A gun was made for the end result of killing, not an automobile. #Fail
Steve Harmon December 13th, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Tell me, what difference do you think that means to their loved ones that had to bury them. Pretty lame response on your part, don’t you think? My 15+ guns have never killed anyone, do you think I should sue the manufacturer because, in your mind,all they were made for was killing? Should I suffer some legal penalty if all I use some of mine is for target shooting? No, Automobiles aren’t made for killing, yet they do at a much higher rate than guns, do you not care about that? Your name implies that you approve of democracy, why?

Can you drive a gun to work? To the store? To take your kids to school? No. Some people need cars to get from point A to point B. People don’t really need guns. That said, I’m not against people owning guns. I just want the pieces put in place to make sure, to the best that we can, that the wrong people don’t end up owning guns.

And illegal carry proponents in Chicago murder hundreds a year.
mugatu December 13th, 2014 at 1:28 pm
Yep if you are a convicted felon on parole you can drive 3 hours to Indiana get a trunk full of guns without worrying about a background check, yours is the typical ignorant comment.
amongoose December 13th, 2014 at 1:37 pm
From a licensed dealer, or from the trunk of the car of an illegal seller?
viva_democracy December 13th, 2014 at 3:38 pm
Indiana has some of the loosest gun laws out there. Mugatu is correct. Plus, ONLY the city of Chicago has the strict gun laws, not the entire state of Illinois.
amongoose December 13th, 2014 at 3:49 pm
They still, by federal law require a background check for a FFL dealer to sell one. If they are selling to felons, or without a background check the laws are on the books to prosecute them. If they are selling to straw buyers who resell them that as well is illegal, prosecute them. When weapons are picked up from criminals they can be traced back to the selling dealer as all weapons shipped to them have their serial numbers recorded.
Obewon December 13th, 2014 at 11:15 pm
“Online gun sales” from many states negate “by federal law require a background check” private sellers at Gun shows also defeat your feigned, or real ignorance. Did learn what you typed from faux newscasters or a Limbaughtomy from Lush Rimjob?
amongoose December 13th, 2014 at 11:45 pm
Which states do not?
All online gun purchases must be shipped to a Federal Firearms Dealer, who will complete the transfer according to all the laws of your state.
As it is interstate commerce it must follow federal law which requires a background check for the sale.
I made no mention of private sellers, only dealers.
Obewon December 14th, 2014 at 12:26 am
Rhetorically: how uninformed are you? A: More than a dozen states sell guns online without background checks.
FBI>35% to 40% of guns are bought in the USA annually without background checks via the “Private sellers” ‘gunshow loophole’ plus about 1/4 sold by “the 2% of FFL dealers” who illegally sell guns without background checks in states, requiring background checks.

Except, wasn’t this lady supposed to be, “a good guy/girl with a gun”? Hmmmmm.

Yep, seems to be something about these open carry gun nuts that really sets them aside from the normal gun owner and user ….

As usual, guns don’t kill people, WHACK JOB IDIOTS WITH GUNS KILL PEOPLE!

She needed to express herself – unfortunately a gun was handy.
charles johnston December 14th, 2014 at 11:45 am
The tone of the article is clear. “C.J. Grisham, leader of Open Carry Texas, will surely deny that she was a member of his extremist group of gun toting miscreants, but there are screen shots which have circulated which will counter any denials by him and I’ll be happy to tweet them out, because I’m nice like that.”
Wording like that does not convey news, only opinion.

Why do just 16 states require Background checks today on handgun sales? “->16 states and Washington, D.C., already (require Background checks) for all handgun sales. In these states. ”
A: the NRA supports and arms terrorists by negating background checks and other gun laws that “Rearm Convicted Felons” at the state level!
Everyone knows federal law also prohibits Felons from owning guns & ammo too! But the NRA rearms these domestic terrorists in many states.

So anyone committing a felony should lose their right to own a firearm permanently?
If there is no chance of someone convicted of a crime of ever being able to in essence become a full citizen again why what would be their incentive to want to change their lives?
In my opinion a second firearms offense, especially one resulting in harm, they should never be allowed out again, but that’s just my opinion. Recidivism of released criminals accounts for most crimes. But permanent incarceration is another can of worms.
A gun allowed in a prison for a felon?
Please explain that one. Googling it showed an open carry advocate being arrested, but no mention of anyone trying to obtain permission for a felon in prison to have a gun. That would be in violation of a lot of state and federal laws.
Open carry, I think is silly, it is easier to disarm them. Prefer concealed carry as the bad guys don’t know who is armed.
A survey of prisoners showed that over half were did not do home invasions of occupied dwellings due to someone at home might have a gun.

Felons can’t vote either. But hey you could’ve petitioned Guber Jeb Bush personally on One day per year to be one of 180 brought before the FL gov for a pardon. Prerequisite is proof of your ‘biblical conversion, bible studies as evidence of your redemption.’ All others need not apply.
Felons forfeit their right to vote, or to possess guns just like any dishonorably discharged veterans, those under judicial restraining orders, adjudicated mental defectives, those on DHS, FBI or ATF watchlists, or non-citizens. None of whom can legally possess guns or ammo, just like convicted felons!
amongoose December 14th, 2014 at 8:31 pm
So are you saying they should never have a chance to have their rights restored?
And actually non citizens here legally can by recent court decision posses firearms.
Obewon December 14th, 2014 at 8:40 pm
Do you know what a pardon is? Hint Cheney’s Chief of Staff Scooter Libby never got a pardon, and is also barred from VOTING or guns & ammo too!
Felons could have “petitioned Guber Jeb Bush personally on One day per year to be one of 180 brought before the FL gov for a pardon”

Should felons upon completion of sentence be allowed to petition for return of their rights?
Obewon December 14th, 2014 at 10:14 pm
I Answered 3+ times: Felons can’t have guns, nor can they opencarry in Krogers while buying diapers for paranoids to soil.
If you are not a citizen you cannot own a firearm unless permanently immigrating into the U.S. or in possession of a hunting license legally issued in the U.S. Also you must have been a resident of your state for at least 90 days. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectiontab.action

Nobody intelligent gives a convicted murderer and manslaughter a Gun or Ammo unless they’ve been pardoned.
That’s why the NRA stupidly advocates for a murderers gunshot air rights through your head, by an already convicted killer
whatthe46 December 15th, 2014 at 12:17 am
you’re right. no one intelligent would. however, this jackass, outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour did. all murderers. he gave them full pardons. one such disturbing murder was that of Gatlin. he walked into the trailer where his estranged wife, Tammy Ellis Gatlin, lived and shot her in the head. The woman’s friend, Randy Walker, survived a gunshot to the head.
