(6,635 posts)Calling it "your own source" does not change the fact the real source is the NYT. If you want to call bullshit on the editors of the NYT, go for it.
Let's see, should I believe the NRA, or the NYT? NRA or the NYT? Really tough choice because we all know that the NRA never ever lies or distorts the truth don't we? But then again the New York Times IS a "liberal" organization and we know that right-wingers don't like or trust them. Who to believe then? Hard choice.
I think that I'll take my chances and believe that the NYT would not publish anything that they hadn't thoroughly researched and documented before they published. Add the fact that no one, including the government, has disputed that article, and I'm pretty sure that it's safe to bet that many States have indeed restored gun rights to convicted felons.
What's that? There are Federal felony laws, AND State felony laws? Really? So that NRA talking point bullshit about all felonies being "Federal Law" wasn't accurate? Who knew? Actually, most people know that, and that is why States can "restore" their own felons' gun rights. And wasn't it just peachy of the NRA to help the States write those right-wing, Republican laws?
"In certain cases, a convicted felon who has served out their punishment can seek an expungement of their record. If their application is approved by the court, their felony conviction could be expunged which means removed from the public record. Expungement is only applied to state crimes. Federal crimes don't allow for expungement and can only be cleared with a Presidential pardon"

You're either a liar Bubba, or you really don't know as much as you brag about. Do you brag about your big gun too?
