    What exactly has he done to warrant his fundamental human rights being curtailed?

      Well for one, he’s a shitbag, lest we forget. But in case you’re on board with his antisemitic tirades, there’s more.

      In terms of the loss of his rights, he was busted for battery against his estranged wife. He punched his wife in the mouth hard enough to break her teeth while she was holding their infant. Let that sink in.

      So yeah, he lost his right to bear arms because he’s not only a waste of air, he was also violent towards his own family. Thats pretty fucking low, dude. IMO, he should not be getting his rights restored.

      Domestic battery.

      And, if it was a temporary thing, that would be fine. Nothing wrong with a cool off period for such things.

      Tbh though, it’s Mel Gibson, and the whole stink isn’t because someone that was convicted of domestic battery qas petitioning for their right to be un-suspended. The stink is because he’s a Trump supporter and wasn’t recommended for the suspension to be ended, then the person making the decision gets canned for political reasons, despite having followed procedure during the execution of their duty.

      Well, that’s the premise of the article.

      But, yeah, he did commit domestic battery, and he pled guilty to the charge to avoid jail time, because all evidence showed him guilty.

      Beyond that, I’d just be summarizing the whole article, and it’s a gift link, so there’s no point

        Like shelter and the right to defend it.
