Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How to get screwed in Nebraska.

Guy I work with just bit the dust as far as possessing a firearm for the next 10 years. Gotta sell his house and move out of Lincoln or be a felon. Lincoln City Ordinance. Busted for DUI. .11 had his purchase permit revoked, hunting license cancelled. Listed as prohibited. Real Bummer.

Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.

I wonder how long it will be before getting a speeding ticket results in the same.

.11 is a felony charge in most places. Traffic violations aren't even misdemeanors.

It says he has to have been busted for 2 offenses before he loses his right to possess a firearm, DUI is one, what is the other?

Not real sympathetic for drunk drivers as the typical recipient of a DUI has driven drunk 100 times before they get popped.

The real bummer is the guy isn't responsible enough to operate an automobile while sober.

Assuming he did it twice to be sure he got it right.

Sorry no sympathy here.

After watching my wife suffer from long term effects of being in an auto accident caused by a drunk driver , I have NO sympathy for him. If he can't drink at home or have someone else drive, don't f*&^%$ drink. And if he's not responsible enough to NOT drink and drive, he's NOT responsible enough to have a gun.
And like the above poster asked: what's the other felony?????

Amen!

Is it a felony DUI? 2nd offense? If it is, he can't buy or possess guns now anyway.....anywhere.

i think a more fitting punishment would be to be put into a room with a couple of real hardasses who beat the piss out of him for a few hours. that and a $1000 fine would suffice for the 1st offense.

Drink that gooberment control kool aid is good for you boys, drink your freedoms away.

It has to do with judgement. If he can't avoid drinking and driving and doesn't realize he is a danger to the public, well........

No letting him buy firearms won't keep him from drinking and driving again either. Just sayin...

You, are a [bleep]' idiot.

Felonies have ALWAYS negated certain freedoms. If you can't keep your azz sober to drive what in the Hell makes you think you'd be sober enough to have/possess/CCW a firearm?

A Constitutionally guaranteed right cannot lawfully be taken away.

Yeah, it can. Check the "social contract" theory by both Locke and Hobbes, common law from England and the US, and essentially any theory of criminal justice.

I wasn't aware of a right given by the constitution, that should not be affected by various crimes.

Should a murder still be able to buy/possess if paroled?

As to the solution, moving out of town seems to answer it. I dont know why folks want to live in towns anyway, but I'm damn glad most do. That way the country stays country.

No sympathy for anyone who drinks and drives. I lost a girlfriend to a drunk driver many years ago. He's alive and well today, and probably still on the streets, while my lovely girlfriend is dead. You drink and drive, you pay the price. No level of dumphuckitude should ever be tolerated, especially when it jeopardizes innocent people's lives.

Pretty much on the money here 700LH. I don't believe anyone should drive drunk or above the legal limit either. Seems to me though a lot of emphasis is put on DUI and spd tickets compared to more important issues but these are the big money makers for the LEO's and justice depts. in this country I'd rather share the road with a guy who had 1 beer over the legal limit than his wife or kids talking on their cell phones or texting while driving. 30 million illegal yahoos over the border not getting more than a wrist slap while our AIC looks the other way or encourages it plus giving them a free ride on all the rest of our backs. Yup, got to hear some more about what laws need to prosecuted to the max and which ones the rest of us are supposed to look the other way on. You know you can murder,drive drunk,use illegal drugs and any other crime you can think of and be innocent of it all if you aren't caught and convicted of it according to the libs. No morals necessary or illegal behavior be considered as long as you don't get caught and convicted, only then your guilty. Never mind what you do until caught and convicted. DUI people 1 beer over the limit aren't the problem in this country our government is. Mag Man

I'm not aware of any rights "given" by the constitution. God given or natural rights exist with or without the constitution as that document merely enumerates them.
