A man who hurt nobody, and technically broke no laws, was turned into a convicted felon and has had his life ruined thanks to New Jersey’s tyrannical gun control laws. Almost 5 years later, and still fighting to clear his name, Brian Aitken makes a desperate attempt to get his son returned to him, whom he hasn’t seen in years. And he needs our help.
On January 2, 2009, Brian complied with New Jerey police in their request to search his car, filled with his belongings as he was in the middle of moving to a new home. Deep inside his trunk they found Brian’s handguns, buried beneath his clothes and nicknacks. In a duffel bag, police found three handguns; “unloaded, disassembled, cleaned and wrapped in a cloth.” Aitken had abided by everything the gun controllers in New Jersey had demanded. The police arrested Aitken anyway, charging him with unlawful possession of a weapon.
Facing serious charges, Aitken’s life went downhill fast. “All of a sudden I couldn’t even be a parent anymore. I wasn’t allowed to see my son. I lost my house. I spent every penny that I had trying to get custody back of my son, and trying to fight these charges from the state, even though I had never hurt anyone,” said Aitken.
Aitken was later CONVICTED and sentenced to 7 YEARS IN PRISON. By the activism of gun owners and freedom activists, he received a commuted sentence after several months in prison. But it wasn't a pardon. He is still a convicted felon and hasn't seen his little boy in 4 years.
Brian Aitken’s story puts a human face on the arbitrary gun laws that so many people seem to support in the name of “safety” and “common sense.” The reality is that gun control destroys lives, it destroys families, it destroys freedom, and it keeps no one safer. There are people just like Brian in prison all over the country, locked up for hurting nobody.
He's petitioning to get his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. His life has been ruined by the last 5 years of legal bull****. He has under 4 days to meet his funding goals.
