With the NFL season looming large, every team wants to be at full strength and ready for opening day. What they don’t need is for one of their star players to be unavailable because of ridiculous gun charges that are likely not even legal.
Los Angeles Chargers star linebacker Denzel Perryman was released from custody Monday afternoon after three days behind bars on controversial charges. The athlete was found with two so-called “assault weapons” during a traffic stop and faced a legal quagmire.
In comes the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC). The Second Amendment advocacy group called for justice to be served, and it was—charges will not be filed against Perryman after a change of heart from the DA’s office.
NFL star ran head-on into California’s nightmare gun control regime
FPC President Brandon Combs, a Chargers fan and undoubtedly excited for the coming season, urged California prosecutors to respect Second Amendment freedoms and drop the charges.
“District Attorney [Nathan] Hochman should dismiss the charges against Mr. Perryman, and everyone else affected by this unconstitutional and immoral law. “Law enforcement should not be putting people in cages for exercising their fundamental rights. This insanity must end, and it must end now.”
Perryman is a free man and may continue to prepare for the coming season
There are apparent reasons why Perryman should not have been detained.
In October 2023, the California ban on popular semi-automatic sporting rifles was found unconstitutional. An injunction was issued, but only temporarily.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the injunction as part of a continuing pattern of devaluing the Second Amendment, and the battle continues.
But an upstanding citizen should not face losing their freedom and livelihood over such silliness. Perryman is thankfully able to get on with his life and get ready for the Chargers’ opener, but that might not have been the case without his star status and the FPC’s stand.
Perryman is a 10-year NFL veteran.
