Jelly Roll Seeks Redemption to Regain Gun Rights for Hunting
Country music artist Jelly Roll is advocating for a change in Tennessee's policies regarding gun ownership for felons. Currently, as a convicted felon, he is prohibited from owning or using firearms, a restriction that extends to his ability to hunt. Jelly Roll, who has a history of legal issues including a serious charge at age 16, is seeking a pardon from Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. However, even with a pardon, Tennessee's strict policies mean he would not be fully exonerated, and his gun rights would remain restricted. Jelly Roll argues for a 'path to redemption' that would allow individuals like him to regain certain rights, such as hunting, which he claims has significant benefits for his mental and physical health.
