@XenoWhitePowers @ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥 It's because he's facing federal charges. Innocent until proven guilty effectively hasn't existed in decades in various ways that become worse by the day. https://gearlandia.haus/media/35ed3b47e85ec0437116df85c6b890882e086919f2f30acf734d660ba71fb693.png

@Zettour I think there are also issues buying handguns in states you don’t live in but I’m not sure. I know several years ago I couldn’t buy a handgun in Texas on a Washington state license. @XenoWhitePowers @ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥

@gav @XenoWhitePowers @ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥 You're confused, the impeachments are done with (unless congress decides try it a third time), it's a criminal indictment in DC. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/read-full-the-indictment-against-trump-for-his-efforts-to-overturn-the-2020-election links to the full text. Impeachment is a political process based on votes, this is a judicial one. (Inspired by politics)

Do you know the citation? "in any court" would suggest that "indictment" would include a state charge. Nonetheless, I think this law would likely be found unconstitutional. First, it eliminates a constitutional right without due process. Second, it does so whether or not the indictment relates in any way to firearms and/or it lacks any procedure for determining whether say injunctive relief or a restraining order would be appropriate (think of a red flag law where a person actually threatened another person with a gun and a court determines that the perp should be prohibited from possessing guns while out on bail). I think it exceeds the scope of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen for that reason alone.

I further note that "in any court" including state courts makes sense in light of the full faith and credit clause, which requires both states and the fed to give full faith and credit to each court's judgments. This leads to some interesting jurisdictional issues respecting first in time and supremacy. See for example the rooker-feldman doctrine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooker%E2%80%93Feldman_doctrine

@🐘🐘 Humpleupagus 🐘🐘 @gav @XenoWhitePowers @ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥 18 U.S. Code § 922 - Unlawful acts. I actually screenshotted the wrong section that applied to the seller, included is the part for buyer. It's one of those gun issues that are still working their way through the different federal court jurisdictions and hasn't made it to Supreme Court yet. There's one case that allowed someone under indictment to buy a gun, but it's such a subjective ruling that there isn't going to be straightforward precedent everywhere from that. When one federal jurisdiction does something the others just take it as a suggestion. https://gearlandia.haus/media/96211ac821c97a976446fb5f43618e0b6b56d638d89285bad577c0b5a9e58792.png

@Zettour @gav @🐘🐘 Humpleupagus 🐘🐘 @XenoWhitePowers @ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥 the real question is how illegal is it to rape speone with and automatic3d printed gun and how much do i neef to reserve for a lawyer :prisongangrape:

Well.... do you own a home and does it have any equity? Real, big time criminal lawyers usually want liens in addition to a trust/security deposit in case their client goes to prison. Jailed men don't make money and don't pay bills. Plus, they may have separate civil liability to the victim, or owe criminal restitution, which could attached to their assets at judgment. The attorney wants quick relief if necessary, i.e private foreclosure.
