A person found NOT guilty or INNOCENT regains and retains ALL rights of a FULL citizen NOT just the ones you "want" to give them.Well.....if you are brought to trial and found not guilty of the charges leveled against you.......should just the fact those charges were brought against you deprive you of your right to keep and bear arm........I think not.......this needs to go to a higher court....
NJ Court Gun Permit Can Be Denied for Domestic Violence Accusation - Breitbart
okay....so you gun grabbers will say.....but he might do it in the future.....alright...if one right can be denied because of an accusation and a non guilty verdict....what about the right to vote......if you are charged with a felony but found not guilty....since felons aren't allowed to vote and you might be a felon later....can you be denied the right to vote?
What the judge said is true:
But Superior Court Judge John Kennedy wrote:
The presence of a firearm in such a household enhances the potential for such a reaction to become lethal. Even if an applicant was previously charged with an offense, but not convicted, in a later permit hearing the chief may still present to the court the evidence underlying the charges. The 1998 incident was not isolated or aberrational, as appellant claims.
You're wrong. Its not that he "might do it in the future". Stats tell us that perps of domestic violence most certainly will do it again and will almost certainly escalate. Way too often, its not until she is killed that he gets arrested. With his long history of domestic violence, he probably is not a man who should be allowed to have guns and I'm not at all sorry that his permit was denied.
OTOH, while the rabid RW racists say that its okay for cops to murder Blacks on the street with no due process, no arrest, no conviction, gunning them down for just running away or resisting arrest, under the law, the wife beater in the OP is innocent until proven guilty.
But there are women who are sleeping easier tonight because this jackass doesn't LEGALLY have a gun.
Will that stop him from owning a gun? Probably not. Idiots like him think they have a right to whatever they want.
Yet blind people need not have committed no crime to disqualify them. Same with the mentally disabled or insane. They nonetheless pose a threat to society. There are various things that being arrested for a crime disqualifies someone from.
here are various things that being CONVICTED for a crime disqualifies someone from.
This man was found innocent.
No he was not found "innocent".
He was found "not guilty" of the 1998 charges.
