9) remove their right to own firearms
- cheath 9y agoThis one is a big deal in states like Montana, where you can no longer hunt for food as a felon. And Archery is now in a gray area too, where they aren't letting felons hunt with bows either.
- dingo_bat 9y agoAre some people reliant on hunting for food?
- Ccecil 9y agoI live in North Idaho. Many people in this area and Montana hunt exclusively for food. Every year they kill/butcher/freeze the meat and use it to supplement. Not everyone actually gets an animal and a large portion of those people are out there to just get drunk and camp...but there are many who do rely on the additional meat to get through the year. Especially in areas like this where people tend to shy away from the govt. and their subsidies.
- ddlatham 9y agoIs that: (hunt exclusively) for food? or hunt (exclusively for food)? I.e. do they get all of their food from hunting? (what GP asked) Or do they eat all that they hunt?
- thomastjeffery 9y agoThis is why I wish we used a postfix language. Precidence rules are always ambiguous.
- cheath 9y agoin Montana, many people who are lower income are partially or heavily reliant on harvesting big game for food. if you're a felon, ironically, often times this need is compounded because you might have limited job opportunities due to your status as a felon.
- Avshalom 9y agoTheres a lot of little and big costs associated with living in the middle of fuck all nowhere that are offset by hunting (and fishing but I'm pretty sure felons are allowed fishing poles). I dunno Montana but Alaska, Yukon, Nunavut: a lot of people are reliant reliant on wildlife.
- ransom1538 9y agoUsing a gun after being a felon is nuts. The punishments are totally absurd. just hunting: http://www.andymboyle.com/portfolio/felons-hunting-with-guns-slip-past-state-law/ http://www.andymboyle.com/portfolio/felons-hunting-with-guns...
- dsfyu404ed 9y agoHaving a deer or hog in the freezer can make a significant difference in stability for people living paycheck to paycheck. What a household spends on meat in a month is probably in the same ballpark as a lower tier internet plan.
