If you’re unfamiliar with J.D. Delay, he’s a reformed career criminal with 58 felonies on his rap sheet. He has a long and storied history of breaking the law, which is to be expected when you’re strung out on meth.
He’s gotten his life straightened out and walks the straight and narrow now, and started a YouTube channel where he talks about his prison experiences, among a lot of other things.
Recently, Delay was on the Unsubscribe Podcast, where the subject of guns came up, and that was where Delay said something that anti-gunners all over the country need to consider, which I talked about on my own YouTube channel.
Here’s the video:
Now, there’s nothing earth-shattering to you or me. We know criminals carry guns, and I’m not at all surprised to know a convicted felon, during his “active” career, favored gun control because it meant he didn’t have to worry about being shot by some armed citizen, but it’s interesting to hear someone lay it out from a first-person perspective.
More than that, since anti-gunners love stories so much, this is a hard one to ignore for them.
Don’t get me wrong, they will, but when they start trotting out people to give their first-person perspective on why guns are supposedly bad and we need gun control, we’ve got Delay’s testimony about why that will make the bad guys as happy as clams.
Especially since gun control doesn’t do jack to keep someone like Delay disarmed until the time he’s no longer a threat to public safety. Funny how that shakes out, isn’t it?
Now that he’s law-abiding, he’s disarmed, but when he didn’t care about the laws at all, he always had a gun. It’s almost like gun control doesn’t do anything to criminals.
Shocking, I know.
In all seriousness, Delay is one of those examples of why there needs to be a pathway back to one’s Second Amendment rights at a minimum. When someone reforms, they deserve to have that acknowledged. Delay isn’t a danger to anyone anymore.
But again, the criminals who are still engaging in crimes aren’t bothered in the least. They’re always going to have a gun.
And let’s be real. If Delay were to hypothetically decide, “Screw it. I’m back to crime,” he could get a gun easily enough. I don’t see that happening, but I bring it up solely to point out that the only thing that keeps someone like him truly disarmed is his desire to follow the law.
That’s a terrible crime prevention strategy, don’t you think?
Yet that is how gun control is sold to the American public.
Delay kind of shatters the illusion many have built up in their minds about what gun control does and how it works. He’s living proof that when people want to do bad things, a gun law isn’t going to stop them from doing it.
Now that he’s through with that part of his life, though, he can’t have one because of the laws they pushed and, most especially, his inner desire to comply with the law.

This is a compelling story that challenges the narrative pushed by gun control advocates.
It’s a narrative that needs challenging.
His point about criminals not being affected by gun laws is spot on.
It’s a common sense argument that often gets lost in the debate.
Interesting perspective from someone who’s lived on both sides of the law. It’s always valuable to hear firsthand accounts.
Absolutely, personal experience adds a layer of depth that statistics alone can’t provide.
I wonder how many anti-gunners are aware of this viewpoint.
It’s a stark reminder that laws don’t deter criminals, they only hinder the lawful from protecting themselves.
A hard truth, but one that needs to be heard.
This video should be required viewing for anyone supporting gun control legislation.
It’s a perspective that can’t be ignored.
This is a powerful argument against gun control that many people overlook.
It’s a reality check for those who believe more laws will solve the problem.
Hopefully, more people will listen to his perspective.
This just shows that gun control laws don’t stop criminals. They only affect law-abiding citizens.
Exactly, criminals don’t follow the law anyway.
It’s a common-sense point, but one that’s often ignored in the debates.
His story is a testament to the fact that gun control only disarms the law-abiding.
It’s a sad but true observation.
Interesting how his experiences have shaped his views on self-defense and gun rights.
Change can happen, even for those with a history like his.
Reformed criminals often have the most to say about what really works and what doesn’t in crime prevention.
True, their insights can be eye-opening.
He has a point. Gun control makes it harder for average citizens to defend themselves against armed criminals.
It’s a fundamental flaw in the argument for gun control.
The irony is thick here. A career criminal advocating for restrictions that would only limit good people’s rights.
It’s a sad reality, but it’s not the first time we’ve seen it.
The fact that a former felon is speaking out against gun control is telling.
It speaks volumes about the effectiveness of gun control laws.
