Daniel Ball, a Florida man pardoned for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot, was arrested again on federal gun charges. This suggests that presidential pardons may not shield individuals from all criminal prosecution. Due to his criminal history, including prior felony convictions related to violence, Ball is prohibited from possessing firearms. He had previously been accused of violent actions during the Capitol insurrection, which included throwing an explosive device that injured police officers. His attorney plans to challenge the gun charges, arguing their connection to the pardoned actions.
The case raises questions about the extent of presidential pardons and whether they truly shield individuals from subsequent criminal charges.
Despite receiving a pardon, Daniel Ball was rearrested on separate gun charges, showing the potential limitations of presidential clemency.
