Imagine having your gun rights taken – a long hypothetical story.

[ShooterMcGavin]

First, I must say that I will not go into further details on this situation at this time. I am not out of the woods yet, but I have a good lawyer. This has been cropped down from its original, long size.

Many times people state “if guns are outlawed, then I will be an outlaw”, so that is why I am posing this situation to you. In my case, the gun control is not against the whole country; it is only against you. What would YOU do??...

Imagine that you are in an area where a non-violent crime takes place. The evidence shows that you are not the criminal, but you are arrested and charged with the crime. The charges are a felony. Also, you have no criminal history in your past, and nothing on record aside from some speeding tickets many years ago. Because of the felony nature of the crime, the judge orders that you must turn your guns over to a friend to hold onto.

That’s my hypothetical story. So, would YOU hold onto your guns against a court order?

ETA: I am NOT seeking any advice here!!

That's pretty hypothetical, all right.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

You can convince yourself that it's either real or not. Maybe I have a very detailed imagination

To the others... I am NOT looking for advice. I thought this was a reasonable situation to discuss, since it does involve the wrongful taking of one's gun rights.

Ok, maybe I will edit it down to a smaller size.

What's to discuss? The hypothetical judge has spoken, it looks like we have to wait for the trial.

Well, hypothetically of course, if you are innocent then give your guns to your friend, no worries there if he is your friend, and then defend yourself in court. i would not plead guilty to anything however, hypothetically speaking.

No, nor is it in the mission statement of THR to discuss or condone illegal activities.

^^+1.

On THR, we follow the law, period.

Would definitely give them to a friend. If I am innocent I am not going to risk legitimate trouble by keeping them. I'll beat the charges and get my guns back.

On THR, we follow the law, period.

So, when/if Hussein-O orders that all guns must be turned in, the people of THR will be first in line, and this forum will cease to exist?

I'm speaking to those who have ever stated: “if guns are outlawed, then I will be an outlaw”.

AGAIN, I AM NOT SEEKING ADVICE ON THIS ONE! MY GUNS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

I'm speaking to those who have ever stated: “if guns are outlawed, then I will be an outlaw”.

And I'm telling you that is off-topic. We normally tolerate a bit of "from my cold dead hands!" chest-beating in threads, so long as it doesn't go so far as to advocate or solicit folk to condone illegal actions. Your approach gets dangerously close, however, to doing just that.
