JOANNA’ POST:
I believe everyone should have the right to protect themselves. Felons as well; All felons are not a threat to society when it comes to bearing arms. Some felons are victims of domestic and family violence and need to protect themselves and their family as needed. I believe a felon should not be able to carry a concealed firearm but should be allowed to have a firearm in the privacy of their home regardless if the probation or parole sentence is complete or not. Convicted felons that are perpetrators of family violence, robbery, and violent crimes and have violent backgrounds should not be allowed to bear arms until their full sentence is complete ( and probably do not need it then…)
In the State of Texas, a felon cannot possess a firearm in their home until five years has gone by from the date the sentence is complete. According to the
Law Dictionary (Links to an external site.)
, The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of all U.S. citizens to bear arms except in certain circumstances. For felons with a criminal record, it is harder but not impossible to legally own a gun. They just need to go through the necessary bureaucratic and legislative processes.Depending on which state you reside..
RONDRA’S POST
:
If someone is a convicted of a felon should their right to bear arms be revoked? No. Coming from a family who has felons in it I think this law should be changed. If it is legal or illegal people are going to own guns. The second amendment clearly says this right is not to be infringed upon. Everyone makes mistakes. A person should not continue to be punished for something that happened ten to twenty years ago. How can taking away someone right to protection fair? The word felon is a broad term, and all felons are not violent. There are non-violent felons. Should they be treated the same? If a person is caught with According to the Constitution, we all have the right to protect ourselves. If they are not allowed to bear arms, how can they protect their family? If a person is a convicted felon and has completed the prison term, why shouldn’t he or she get their rights back? If the government feel these ex-offenders are so dangerous, why let them out of prison? No one should be in their home and feel defenseless against an intruder. Having a gun would level the playing field and increase their chance of survival. The government should not have the authority to say what you can and cannot have in your home.

RONDRA’S POST
In the case of Rayshard Brooks was the shooting justified, was the use of force necessary? Yes. In the state of Georgia, the law states that deadly force can will be used if the officer believes that force is needed to prevent death or bodily injury to self or others. Deadly force can also be used if there is reason to believe that the suspect is in possession of a weapon that can be used to cause an injury to self or others. Georgia Code Title 16. Crimes and Offenses 16-3-21.
Mr. Brooks lost his life because of his poor choices. People will try to argue that Mr. Brooks was killed for sleeping in his car but that was not the case. He chose to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated. The office was more than polite and professional when he approached the car to check on Mr. Brooks. The office had to wake Ms. Brooks twice because he had falling asleep in a drive thru line of a fast-food restaurant. Once speaking to Mr. Brooks, the officer can clearly hear that his speech was slurred. Thus, giving the officer reason to believe that he was under the influence of something. Not only did Mr. Brooks resisted arrest, tried to flee, and made the deadly mistake of grabbing a taser from the office and aimed. If would have complied, he would be here with his family.

LE EBONY’S POST:
In the video that took place on June 12, 2020, you can clearly tell that officer Devin Brosnan was nicely asking Rayshard Brooks not one but two times to move his vehicle because he was parked in the middle of a drive thru. On the first attempt of asking Brooks to move his car he fell back to sleep and didn’t follow what was politely asked. After officer Brosnan saw that brooks looked to be under the influence and was given a breathalyzer test to only put the safety of others first. When two decided that his BAC was .108 when the legal limit is .08, they decided to take him in custody.
In the middle of making the arrest Brooks tried to flee the scene. During that time an officer’s life was put on the line because Brooks decided to point a weapon at the officer. By the law of Georgia in the manuals that was updated it declares “He or she reasonably believes that the suspect possesses a deadly weapon or any object, device, or instrument which, when used offensively against a person, is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury and when he or she reasonably believes that the suspect poses an immediate threat of serious bodily injury to the officer or other. Brooks has been charged before with Simple Battery/Family, Battery Simple and Felony Cruelty/Cruelty to Children.
And it was sent by mail to inform Brooks if he was to receive a DUI while on probation he would be sent to jail. If Brook thought nothing was wrong, why would he try to run away from officers that did nothing but show friendliness and concern for his well-being. Officers must protect themselves to and when they saw a dangerous threat, they did what was taught and what they thought was the right thing to do for safety. With that in mind what would you have done if there was a weapon pointed at you.
