That's just a very sheep like attitude to have. To hell with "fight the good fight" I suppose.
So these guys, who have allegedly committed UNKNOWN felonies have a Glock, and AK and and AR pattern rifle? Well, lets explore that idea... hmmm.. they said "felony"... DV isn't a felony unless there is SBI or some other factor involved. So these guys probably committed either Felony Menacing (threatening someone with a deadly weapon), Aggravated Burg/Rob (again, use of a weapon) and so on... are we noticing something? The use of a weapon ... in other words NOT SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO OWN A GUN. They had their chance. But hey are supposedly reformed and all better now? I think your ignoring the fact that both are willing to continue to engage in illegal activity and don't seem to ashamed of doing so.
I know the response that is coming, "what if it was just a drug crime". Lets explore that, shall we? This means that they weren't caught smoking a J at their buddies house. This is either possession of either a very large quantity of pot, or dist., or possession of something far worse (meth, coke, heroin, etc.), again, not someone that should have a weapon.
Keep in mind that being arrested for a felony is a different ballgame than getting convicted of one. Most people arrested for a felony will plea out to a misdemeanor charge. So whatever they were hit with was probably substantial enough that either the judge or the DA was unwilling to let them plea to something lesser. So I for one don't buy the bullshit that some others here have suggested that these poor helpless little angels got caught taking a leek on the side of the road and is now a registered sex offender who just wants to teach his kid to shoot a .22lr. Get real. /rant
Again, I'm not attacking your decision do nothing (hmmm, I'm reminded of a quote there), what I am attacking is your attitude toward the situation.
Keep in mind I don't frequently attack people on here, but really look at what you're doing. You openly announce on a public forum that you have knowledge of felonious firearm related activity, and that you don't care about it, and your not interested in doing anything about it. Not the wisest of decisions, and if it were up to me I would have this thread deleted and reported to the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. I'm pretty sure the latter has already been taken care of.
