Tyler Paulsen Case Turns Into a Serious Second Amendment Case
The other huge malicious prosecution coming out of Wagoner County took an interesting turn this week with the filing of a motion laying out the Second Amendment aspects of the malicious prosecution of Tyler. Keep in mind that these charges have been dismissed twice already, once by the prosecutor in exchange for a bond fee payment of $35.00, the second time a judge dismissed them as a violation of the young man's civil rights, but that didn't stop Mayes County D.A. Matt Ballard from filing charges a third time in an effort to revoke the 2016 deferred sentence of Tyler Paulsen over a speeding ticket and an expired license (about three days expired).
We are going to go over the developments next week. The slimy Commissioner James Hanning was deposed in the case and several Sooner Tea Party newsletters were actually entered into the record as evidence in the case and in general Mayes County seems to have a hot potato on their hands. But more importantly the case lays out some serious challenge to the practice of felons always losing their Second Amendment rights. It appears that SCOTUS hasn't actually ruled if a non violent felon deserves to lose their gun rights. If so this could be huge. Stay tuned next week.
