@BT
There is. Hence why he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
@Citizen
I read @BT’s post and immediately said, “sarcasm”. @BT knows there are laws preventing criminals from possessing firearms. Yet here is a convicted felon with a firearm.
You want to stop convicted criminals from owning a firearm? You’ll have to make it a “death penalty” offense, because our current laws do nothing to discourage it from happening.
@BT they dont let convicted felons have guns… convicted felons get guns off the street. If u read the charges it says “possession of a firearm by a convicted felon”. Meaning he cant legally possess one
@steve. Their modus operandi in escambia County is to charge with as much, for as much as possible and hope to get a plea 2 or 3 levels down. You clearly watch too much CSI
It has to be planned in advanced and the prosecutors have to believe they can prove 1st degree murder and win that case. You don’t want to try for 1st degree and lose the conviction because the jury doesn’t accept that it was planned far enough in advance, thereby failing to full meet requirements of 1st degree murder, when you know that 2nd degree is a slam dunk.
Anyway, I suppose leftists in America think this is proof that I should be disarmed. It’s too bad people like me don’t have a political party to support our natural rights to arm ourselves for our own defense.
So, if all the law abiding citizens give up all their guns this kind of thing would not happen. Right??
Prayers for the family..
He’s a coward kill my cousin and for what over a female. That female need to go to jail to bc she had something to do with it.. U got one now get her too. You knew that man was in your house with a gun u should’ve called the police.. Juctice will be serve!! God is good!!
so shooting someone is 2nd degree? Guess he did not plan it so not 1st.
They shouldn’t let convicted felons have guns. If only there was a law against it…
