Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, with support from the National Rifle Association, is arguing that nonviolent felons should not lose their Second Amendment rights.
“My duty is to protect and defend the rights of the people as enshrined in our Constitution because those rights are nonnegotiable. As Attorney General, my commitment is to the people, no matter the cost,” Uthmeier said in a post on X. . . .
During a traffic stop in 2022, [Christopher] Morgan told officers he had a gun in his car’s center console. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon. Morgan challenged the law as unconstitutional. After a trial court upheld his conviction, he appealed.
The state initially defended the conviction but changed course on Feb. 13, 2026. On March 18, Uthmeier filed a supplemental brief explaining the shift.
The brief leans on the Supreme Court’s text-and-history test, arguing that prohibiting gun ownership for nonviolent felons isn’t justified. It says Morgan, despite his felony, remains part of “the people” protected by the Second Amendment.
It also points to historical examples, noting that English, Founding-era, and Reconstruction-era laws only disarmed people who were demonstrably dangerous or posed a public safety risk. Uthmeier’s brief argues that a felony conviction alone shouldn’t automatically strip someone of their gun rights.

🤣
[note: This is what it was mostly composed of overall, the geriatric crowd in their twilight years trying to remain ‘hippy relevant’. It did not have the turnout this year like it did last year. And in some places the ‘Proud Boys’ and some J6’ers were in place observing and when members of the the geriatric crowd protestors fell out or needed ‘help, I’ve fallen and can’t get up’ assistance they rushed in to assist them and get them any medical help needed while the left wing loons ignored them.]
‘No Kings’ failed again, miserably. But ya know what did succeed and is still succeeding, the successful ‘No Queens’ protest against the blue Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz on November 5th, in 2024 and the ‘crowd’ looked like this:

So, That’s the Story Behind How a Secret Service Agent on Jill Biden’s Detail Shot Himself.
”
…
New details about the agent who shot himself earlier today while accompanying Jill Biden to the Philly airport.
The agent was apparently rushing and fumbling around after forgetting his cell phone in the SUV, sources told RealClearPolitics.
The agent was only one week on the job with the Jill Biden detail. He was in the SUV behind the one Biden was traveling in. He left to accompany Jill Biden through the airport, but soon realized he forgot his cell phone.
The agent rushed back to get it, and his pistol fell out of the holster and was lying on the seat. He grabbed his pistol quickly and negligently fired it as he was trying to put it back in the holster. The agent shot his butt cheek. He went to the hospital where he is recovering and is expected to be released later today.

Meanwhile, Florida’s Ex-AG argues the Second Amendment doesn’t mean anything to her.
Federalist No. 49: Why Madison Opposed “Let the People Decide”.
“In this video, we break down Federalist No. 49 by James Madison and explain why he warned against constantly appealing to the people to resolve government disputes. More importantly, we connect his argument to today’s political climate and the ongoing battle over Second Amendment rights. If you want to understand how the Founders viewed stability, liberty, and the dangers of emotional policymaking—this is a must-watch.”

I spent almost two years in the Mississippi penitentiary – the notorious Parchman Farm – 1972-73 for selling a half ounce of weed. Because I wouldn’t give them the name of the guy who gave me the weed. Turned 21 in prison and was a trustee when sentence ended, ironically allowed to carry a revolver. In the following years I got a degree, was employed in naval shipbuilding, commercial nuclear industry and as a federal contractor program manager. I also got my pilot’s license in 1985 and later instrument rating. I’ve owned planes since 1995 including the current one, a Mooney 201. Always told the truth on forms and applications and passed every FBI background investigation. Retired now 10 years. It is unconstitutional and unconscionable that I am barred from owning firearms. Period.
I agree. Perhaps a time period after which the restrictions go away for non-violent felonies. I know in Texas a person “can be” charged with a felony offense for trespass with a firearm. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s still possible. I picture some hunter trailing a deer he legally shot on his lease or property and crossing onto the neighbor thinking “it’s gotta be close”. Dumb, but you can see where it might happen. Then suppose the anti-hunter neighbor gets video or catches them and demands full prosecution. Felony conviction. Lifetime loss of firearms ownership. Just ain’t right.
In the interest of clarity, for a time I was a sworn deputy sheriff in Texas, and I am not a felon. However I agree with the assessment that non violent felons should be allowed to own firearms. Said felons should not be excluded from gun rights. They should be afforded the ability to defend themselves and their families.
