Florida AG Admits Error, Says Only Dangerous Felons Should Lose Gun Rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Luke McCoy
\nTALLAHASSEE, FL \u2013 Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has formally acknowledged in a court filing that individuals convicted of non-dangerous felonies should not automatically lose their Second Amendment rights, marking a significant shift in the state\u2019s legal position on firearm possession.<\/p>\n

The updated stance was revealed in a filing submitted to Florida\u2019s First District Court of Appeal in the case Christopher Morgan v. State of Florida. The Attorney General\u2019s office notified the court that, after further review, it now believes Morgan\u2019s conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm violated his constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

According to the filing, the state previously argued that Morgan was properly convicted under existing law. However, the Attorney General\u2019s office stated it had reconsidered that position and now recognizes a constitutional distinction between dangerous and non-dangerous offenders.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General also informed the court that it was \u201cconfess[ing] error\u201d and urged the appellate court to reverse the conviction. The updated position was submitted ahead of scheduled oral arguments in the case.
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\nThe case centers on whether blanket firearm prohibitions applied to all convicted felons are consistent with constitutional protections. By revising its legal argument, the Florida Attorney General\u2019s office signaled support for a more individualized approach that evaluates whether a person\u2019s prior conviction demonstrates dangerousness rather than applying a universal prohibition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Convicted felon G. Gordan Liddy was prohibited from owning a firearm. His wife however, was not.<\/p>\n

The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of gravity is racist.<\/p>\n
