As the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Services (and various assorted LEOs), he would theoretically be in charge of more “guns” than any other person alive. How, as a felon, is it not OK for him to personally possess a firearm, but perfectly lawfully command what people do with guns? This is some wild shit happening, and I’m 100% not here for it.

Now that’s a good question

Chapter 44 of Title 18 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), federal law bans convicted felons from possessing firearms or ammunition.
Yes he should have his license revoked, but he should also be barred completely from owning any firearms/ammo as I understand the law.
Not that the law gets applied to him the same as it would be applied to you or I…

I get no right is unlimited. This is the one infringement the SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED crowd seems to be okay with. Did they already change their mind or are they working around to it?

We take rights away from people all the time as a punishment for their crimes. Why would this be any different?

It doesn’t matter. The secret service isn’t thrilled with their protectees carrying anyway.

He shouldn’t be allowed to carry a phone, much less a gun
