There’s a path forward now for felons to get their gun rights back. It’s already happened, even. That’s fantastic news for millions of Americans who have had to deal with the ramifications of one mistake keeping them disarmed and put them and their families at risk.
There’s a process.
Plotting a terrorist attack at the White House’s UFC event, however, is most definitely not the way to get those gun rights back. Especially when you’ve already got the gun.
Christopher M. Perry, 38, of Rocklin, was indicted Thursday for possessing firearms and destroying records in a federal investigation, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced.
According to court documents, Perry came to the attention of law enforcement because of an investigation into a plot to carry out attacks against federal property and officials, including an attack at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the South Lawn of the White House, which took place on June 14, 2026. Perry participated in a Signal chat group that was devoted to planning the attack. Perry additionally discussed related attacks in California against AI datacenters, satellite communication facilities, and a California-based technology company. Perry also referred to himself as a career criminal and stated that he was armed, even though he is prohibited from possession guns.
On June 12, 2026, law enforcement contacted Perry at his home and asked about his Signal account. After the agents departed, Perry immediately attempted to destroy evidence by taking steps to remove himself from the Signal chat group, delete his Signal account, and remove the Signal application and associated data from his phone.
The FBI subsequently executed several search warrants, and recovered multiple firearms that Perry owned, as well as more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition. On top of one of the ammunition containers was written “WWIII,” which is short for World War III. And on Perry’s phone were several pictures and videos of firearms and of Perry holding firearms.
Perry is a felon and is prohibited from possessing firearms. Perry’s prior felony convictions include a conviction for attempting to bring drugs into a jail or prison and for possessing or purchasing drugs for sale.
So he didn’t just have the evidence in his home, but specific evidence of him breaking the law on his phone.
Should it be illegal? I don’t think so. I don’t believe that a felon should have to apply to get their rights back. I think that if they’re so dangerous that they can’t be trusted with their gun rights, they shouldn’t be permitted to walk the streets at all. Why? Because people like this get guns despite the law, but those who want to reform should get the benefit of the doubt long enough to prove it.
This jackwagon wanted to kill people because…why? Because he, in part, bought into the Chinese propaganda about data centers? I get anti-government sentiment, but he was going to play terrorist…and the gun laws weren’t stopping him.
Instead, it was law enforcement that stopped him before he could do anything.
And, to be honest, while I don’t subscribe to the whole “if you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide” mantra, the fact that he tried to scrub his Signal account isn’t a good look.
The moral of the story is not to be a criminal dirtbag looking to take up recreational terrorism.
