Ok, I am really on the rope for this one. If you serve your time for your infractions then I suppose I support that you should not be barred from your right. However, at the same time.. This guy is a repeat armed offender which shows that he is not trustable with a weapon. This is a gray zone. What does everyone think?
Im more on the side of... he should not be in society because of his actions over the "he has a right to arms".
Also, No idea if this is the best sub for this? Maybe there should be a GunNews or GunDiscussion or something? If there is a better place.. move it or let me know and ill remove and repost it.

From the post:
"A serial armed robber has escaped a mandatory 15-year prison sentence for illegally owning a gun after a Chicago judge said convicted felons are also protected by the Second Amendment.
Glen Prince, 37, already had three armed robberies and the aggravated battery of a police officer on his record when he was arrested for robbing three men on a CTA train in September 2021.
Police found cocaine, a stolen credit card, a cache of bullets and a fully loaded 9mm Smith and Wesson on him when they arrested him, despite the federal law banning felons from possessing handguns."
