Florida AG, NRA argue nonviolent felons should keep Second Amendment rights<\/a><\/p>\n

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2013 Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, with support from the National Rifle Association, is arguing that nonviolent felons should not lose their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy duty is to protect and defend the rights of the people as enshrined in our Constitution because those rights are nonnegotiable. As Attorney General, my commitment is to the people, no matter the cost,\u201d\u00a0Uthmeier said in a post on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Attorney General\u2019s position mirrors efforts by the\u00a0NRA\u2019s Institute for Legislative Action,<\/a>\u00a0the organization\u2019s legal and lobbying arm, which has long worked to defend Second Amendment rights through litigation and policy advocacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NRA has long held that firearm bans for nonviolent felons violate the Second Amendment, and Uthmeier is now advancing that argument in a state case, underscoring that such individuals are not barred from exercising their constitutional rights,\u201d the advocacy arm of the NRA wrote on its X account.<\/p>\n
