Don't forget, the background check for a gun purchase happens at the Federal level, the ATF owns this IIRC. So no matter where she is, if she tries to buy a gun she's likely not going to pass the Fed background check.
There are many ways to buy guns illegally, unfortunately. Whether using a “straw buyer” or visiting a gun show or purchasing from another person, it’s easy to circumvent gun laws.
Agreed and without a doubt she will not stay away from guns whether she purchases more or not as she even said on the jailhouse phone calls already that her BF could just put them in a safe and tell authorities she doesn’t have the combination - not that he shouldn’t give it to her but that he should say she doesn’t have it - ugh…but at least she cannot be hired as an armor bearer on another set
It sounds as though she's going to be a danger to anyone she gets together with in future because I suspect that she's going to get them to do illegal things with guns on her behalf. Someone is going to get a criminal record because of her.
Was that her boyfriend in the courtroom sitting behind her who kept chewing on his fingers the entire trial and causing a distraction?
Yes that would be prohibited. She is prohibited from handling a fire arm, owning one, or even living in a residence where she has access to firearms. So she would not allowed to go to a gun range and shoot someone else's gun.
Thanks. That's pretty much the same for a prohibited person here. Although here if you're prohibited it also applies to unlicensed airguns (ones producing a muzzle energy of less than 12 ft/lbs), antiques which are exempt from licensing and even deactivated guns.
Under federal law, muzzleloaders are considered antique guns and excepted from the definition of "firearm" prohibited to felons. So she could have a muzzleloader, at least under federal law. I'm not sure if some states restrict that or not.
I’m sorry - I don’t know - I didn’t even see that
I don’t know who he is but all that gnawing on his fingernails was a definite distraction- and gross!

I thought the Santa Fe DA had handed this case over to the appointed special prosecutors. But she is still calling the shots and hiring additional staff? I am perplexed by this procedurally.The Santa Fe District Attorney has appointed Erlinda Johnson as special prosecutor in the Alec Baldwin case.

BBM. Good point. One reason could be Lewis didn't think the case against Baldwin is "winnable."According to this article, Johnson will be replacing Jason Lewis.
New 'Rust' special prosecutor will take the place of departing member of team
Apr. 19—The First Judicial District Attorney's Office has agreed to pay Albuquerque attorney Erlinda Johnson$125 per hour — up to $60,000 — to assist in prosecuting an involuntary manslaughter charge against Rust star and producer Alec Baldwin. The District Attorney's Office released Johnson's...
Morrissey, who did not respond to questions Thursday, clarified Friday that Johnson essentially will replace Lewis on the case.
"Ms. Johnson has joined the team because Mr. Lewis has other professional responsibilities with another client for the next two months and cannot dedicate the appropriate amount of time to the case against Mr. Baldwin," Morrissey wrote in an email.
It seems like Morrissey is still calling the shots, but maybe only the DA's office can officially make the appointment?
Edit - I have to say that I'm more than a little suspicious of the claimed reason that Lewis is leaving. What attorney would abandon such a high-profile gig, especially at this relatively late date? Perhaps there's some trouble in the relationship between Morrissey and Lewis?
