Offense
Drug addict, misdemeanant, or felon who possesses or owns firearm, ammunition
Aggravated Felony (AF)
Possession by felon or addict is not an AF due to the antique firearms rule.1Conviction under ยงย 12021 does not come within the firearms deportation ground because the statute reaches and has been used to prosecute antique firearms. U.S. v. Aguilera-Rios, supra. See further discussion at PC 29800.
Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT)
Arguably not CIMT because simply owning a weapon (even up to a sawed-off shotgun) is not a CIMT.
Other Removal Grounds
Not deportable under the firearms ground due to antique firearms rule; see discussion at PC 12020, 29800.
