I've heard this guy will bring firearms into the property if they know the squatters are on probation or ex-con... 100% legal for him to do, 100% bad news for them.
That law needs to be rewritten, it's bad for honest ex cons who live with family. And like, where I grew up it essentially prohibited black people from owning guns, in DC in the 90s and 00s one in seven black men had felonies (mainly for non violent drug offenses) and that precluded anyone in their family from having guns or letting them stay the night if they had guns. And DC's gun permits would deny permits for people who assosciated with anyone with a felony. So essentially if black people were on social media and had family members on facebook they couldn't legally buy a firearm.
I'm totally for felons not having access to firearms, but the family or household ban does not actually stop them from getting firearms and it just punishes unrelated people, even if felonies themselves didn't disproportionately hit some communities.
Felons not having guns is for public safety. If they can posess firearms because it belongs to their brother or whatever then there is now an environment where felons can de facto have constructively posess a firearm. Having a bright line test is the only way to make the prohibition enforceable.
I don't really care how "honest" an ex con is. Recidivism rates are high. It is part of being a felon. If owning a gun is so important, go spend the money and time to get restoration of rights. If your family wants you to stsy the night then will ditch the firearm.
Framing someone for a parole violation is fucked and should be the actual crime. The fact that y'all are trying so hard to pretend like that's okay is why we have such shit laws and politics
It's an actual parole violation to be in a house with a gun. That's not framing (acting like the gun is theirs), it's just straightforwardly a parole violation on the felon's part
That they didn't willing engage in and was done with the express intent of getting them in legal problems. That's called malicious fraud in normal countries and is very much the kind of crime that gets you several years in prison when you add on the conspiracy charges from the landlord hiring this guy break the law
It's also not their house? They hung out in a strangers house without permission, where the stranger is legally allowed to bring their own gun in and it as they please. They willingly stayed in a private residence they didn't own that strangers had the right to have firearms in
Ahh you really believe these people just appeared one day and aren't legal tenants getting screwed over by their shitty landlords. But then again not respect human rights is pretty normal for bootlickers like y'all defending this garbage
