*Waves to the crowd*
Hello. My name is Kal'Stang. I am a Felon. 2 Counts of 2nd Degree Burglary of a store when it was closed. No weapons was used or at any time held. If some one had been there no crime would have been committed as I am not a violent person. I did not contest my conviction. IE: I plead guilty. No plea deal was offered. I spent 3 months in the County Jail with 1 year probation and restitution to be paid. I had 2 accomplices. The Restitution was to be paid between the 3 of us. Restitution total was $1300.00. (including court costs) By the time that I had paid $1000.00 of the restitution my accomplices combined had paid $100.00.
It has been 20 years since my conviction. I have broken no laws since then. I am no threat to society or even one person. I have fully paid my dues and then some.
(The above may or may not be true. Some will believe that it is, some won't. Don't care either way. It is posed to give an example for this debate.)
Why can't I own a gun for not only my self defense but also my families defense. None of which have ever committed any crime...much less a felony one.
