DOING TIME, FOR EXERCISING MY CONSTITUTIONAL "RIGHTS", AND FOR NO OTHER REASON Could you tell me how this could be fair and equal Justice? When a man is put in prison for 20 years just for exercising his con- stitutional rights. I am charged_with 922(g)(l) which is simple possession of a fire- arm. I have never committed any kind of crime with a firearm in‘ my lifeyandghave never had a firearm charge until this one. The police got the gun (out) of my house, when they came there to arrest me for out—running them with my car, they saw antique paper shot—gun shells in my home — while there to arrest me and are using them as a reason to get a search warrant to search my house. The Second Amendment and Heller v. D.C. and McDonald v. Illinois, all allow possession in the home. Just because I am a felon, how would this be different? Furthermore, when did my constitutional rights become a privilege that the Government can take away and give back to me — with them saying that after I do this, this, this and that, I can have this back. The Constitution is supposed to be for everyone equal. When the Constitution becomes a privi- lege, that is when it is no longer worth the paper that it is written on, and when that happens, that is when the Government of this country is committing treason against its‘ own people. I need all the help I can get to fix this. I need everyone's help in this matter. I have never done a crime with a firearm, so why is the Government telling me that I can't own one to protect myself, home and family, and to have the right to put food on my table. I have in no way ”abused”'that right, and if this is not a con- spiracy against the people's constitutional rights, then please someone tell me what is. This is what the law says in under l8 U.S.C. §24l, conspiracy against rights, if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any person.... in the free exercise of enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the (constitution) or law of the United States they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. 18 U.S.C. §24l. The Federal.Government and courts are to be guardians of the peoples rights, and their responsibility is to protect them, not to put people in prison or punish people for exercising their constitutional rights. Any and all federal constitutional errors, regardless of the facts and circumstances, must always be deemed harmfulzand should be automatic reversal of any conviction. The taking of someone's constitutional rights just because they get what the Government calls a felon is just simply an outrage, when that person has done nothing to abuse that right-in anyway whatsoever. Whoever made that law has a problem with our Constitution and should be run plum out of this country.
