(2,708 posts)Johnston: wasn't a misconception at all simply a basic comparison between the countries.
Huh? a comparison of countries? what countries? suddenly you mention a comparison between countries, blowing smoke.
Johnston: Since my only point was violent vs nonviolent felons giving such details isn't relevant.
Martha Stewart is a violent felon? Johnston blowing smoke.
the backpedaling Johnston: As stated above, the default setting in the US is no gun rights unless you petition the court in that state, unlike Canada where the default setting is you regain gun privileges (their view) unless the judge issues a prohibition order. Since I was talking about "default setting" and not intended to give detailed explanation or legal advice on how to regain them.
Oh, is canada the other 'country' you were talking about, which you first mentioned in this thread within your very post?
You weren't talking about any 'default setting' when you wrote this:
(first I wrote): I wonder if ceasefire's ex-offenders are disallowed firearm ownership, or perhaps had it restored thanks to the nra & fopa1986.
then JOHNSTON replied: Is that a serious question? If it is, then you don't know the law. Under the Gun Control Act, it is a five year mandatory minimum of being a felon in possession. Any felon including John Dean and Martha Stewart.
How in the world were talking of a 'default setting' when you said it was a 5 yr minimum for a felon in possession of a firearm? including Martha stewart? Martha a violent felon?
You weren't speaking of a default setting, that's just you tapdancing to save face & shift focus onto a red herring you created after the fact, to weasel out of your misconception. Your misconception, your misinformation which you've been spreading about for years on this board.
Backsliding & backpedaling thru some non existent escape hatch this time, you are.
If you were speaking of violent felons, why did you include Martha stewart?
You clearly said 'ANY FELON, INCLUDING MARTHA STEWART' - and now say you only meant 'violent felons' - jeez, you lie after explicitly claiming something, which wasn't true to begin with.
