Texas defendant challenging federal gun law at the Supreme Court says he doesn’t want firearms any more

Zackey Rahimi, the Texas criminal defendant challenging a federal gun law before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, said this summer that he no longer wanted to own firearms and expressed remorse for his actions that got him in trouble with the law.

“I will make sure for sure this time that when I finish my time being incarcerated to stay the faithful, righteous person I am this day, to stay away from all drugs at all times, do probation & parole rightfully, to go to school & have a great career, have a great manufacturing engineering job, to never break any law again, to stay away from the wrong circle, to stay away from all firearms & weapons, & to never be away from my family again,” Rahimi, who is being held at a Fort Worth jail, said in a handwritten letter dated July 25.

He continued: “I had firearms for the right reason in our place to be able to protect my family at all times especially for what we’ve went through in the past but I’ll make sure to do whatever it takes to be able to do everything the right pathway & to be able to come home fast as I can to take care of my family at all times.”

    You should stick to the talking points the gun lobby gives you. Maybe then you won’t accidentally align your morality with that of a literal slaver while you awkwardly try and call other people racist.

    He also fucked a 14 year old when he was nearly 40, so does paedophilia get your thumbs up as well? After all, sexual assault of minors is only a small percentage of sex overall and Jefferson thought it was cool, so you can support it with exactly the same dogshit arguments you use for guns.

      What’s with this “everything everyone does in life has to be angelic or good ideas they had are entirely invalidated” thing?

      Do you not believe that all men are created equal simply because Jefferson wrote it, and since he and his time were wrong about some things, equality is then actually also wrong? That is such a ridiculous take, of course equality is still good even though it has since been expanded in the past 200yr. Not that I actually think you believe that, I think you know you’re wrong, but yeah Imma do a little trolling and call you racist for it because you’re a dick lol.
