Under Federal law, and most state law, a convicted felon cannot legally own a firearm. However, as many of you may know, Donald Trump is a convicted felon, and he is running for president. If he wins, he will be the first convicted felon to become President of the United States. As President of the United States, a person is the Commander in Chief of the largest arsenal on planet earth. The "average" U.S. Citizen loses their right to bear arms with a felony conviction, but nothing is written in the law to stop a convicted felon from overseeing nuclear warheads. When the 1968 Gun Control Act was drafted, the law that prohibits felons from possessing firearms, it seems no one ever imagined that another convicted felon would be running for president. Donald Trump isn't the first felon to run for president. It happened a century ago in 1920 when Eugene V. Debs ran for president after being convicted under the Sedition Act (in a country with freedom of speech). It’s inexplicable how a convicted felon could be in charge of the Army, the Navy, the Marines and the Air Force while not being able to own a gun themselves. A convicted felon also loses the right to vote but they do have the right to ask for your vote.
