The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

Let's try this with your logic:

Do you honestly believe that our government is capable of creating a system where people are justly parsed between those who should have a right to defend their own lives and those who shouldn't?

Because you somehow believe that they can do one, and not the other. Either they are highly competent, or they are not.

I am for 1 law restricting gun ownership in the US, and that is citizenship.  If you are not a United States Citizen, you should not be allowed to possess a firearm here.


Here's a fun fact. Our Constitution protects EVERYONE. Not just citizens.

So are you for or against the constitution?

I thought prisons were supposed to rehabilitate and punish.  Seems like they're doing neither if violent felons who cannot be trusted are released into society.  

If only there was some way to reduce the amount of non-violent inmates taking up cell space so those violent felons can be rehabilitated ...

If you want the ability to protect yourself (with a firearm), don't commit a felony.  What happened to having responsibility for your own actions?

I all for not allowing VIOLENT convicted felons to have the ability to purchase guns.  Spin it however you want...


If they're "safe" enough to be in the community then they should have all the rights of a regular citizen.  This is what I don't understand with the left.  They talk a big game about rehabilitating criminals and hugging thugs and whatnot but they are never interested in actually reintegrating felons into society.

Really, if they're so dangerous they can't be trusted with the rights of citizens then they should still be locked up.

Quit talking passively. YOU want to restrict THEIR rights. YOU figure out how to use DUE PROCESS to do it, and leave EVERYONE else out of it.

The only way that's been figured out to actually and effectively restrict their rights using due process is... incarceration. That's it. And that restricts their rights because it's NECESSARY component of incarceration. Everything else you implied by saying 'I still think they lost their right to own a firearm' is an infringement: 4473, FFL, NICS, GCA, NFA, Brady Bill, etc.

No. If you want the ability to protect yourself with a firearm, move to the United States. Felons should be able to protect themselves, just as much as a priest, mechanics, plumbers, homeless, teachers, jobless, mentally retarded, banker, or child . Prison was their punishment. When the time is flattened, you don't continue punishing someone who has served.

If you're free, you should have the right to protect yourself with a firearm. You have been conditioned to believe otherwise.

You are disregarding "shall not be infringed" completely

Yes, of course. Few schizophrenics are violent or in danger of becoming violent, and fewer still have been adjudicated mentally defective or found to be a danger to society. Why would you restrict the rights of the many to punish the few?

Because you somehow believe that they can do one, and not the other. Either they are highly competent, or they are not.

No, it doesn't Not at all. You're way off base and your feels are showing.

Rights are rights. The end. If a person serves their time and is released, they should not be stripped of any rights. I would argue that doing so is actually illegal under the Constitution, as are gun laws of all types.

Freedom will, it seems, always be scary for some people but there will never be a shortage of those who believe they are more qualified to tell others what to do.

His avatar and user name make it even more ironic


Its hilarious trying to have a conversation with people that applaud thugs getting killed n in the next thread fight ruthlessly for their right to defend themselves.  So which is it?


Both. I fail to see the problem.

For the record I am not disagreeing, or agreeing with anybody in this thread.

I do want to pick some brains here though for those saying no restrictions should be put in place. How do you guys feel about medical devices, medications, etc? A lot of these require a medical license to purchase, yet I don't see an uproar over that? Just curious.

Same. It should be. The government has no authorization to manage that. It's all about money.

I'm against every single one of them. I want to be able to buy whatever I want, whenever I want to.

are you are for laws restricting gun ownership/possession or against those laws.



This is everything. CHL/CCW to NFA, GCA everything. If you even agree with one law that restricts gun ownership or possession you are an anti in my book. I am stick of this fucking this law is ok but this one isn't. Go over to DU where you belong.

I don't want nut case psychopaths with guns..does that make me anti gun.. I don't want drunk people driving cars does that make me anti beer.. I want it to be against the law to steal does that make me anti possession. I am sick of traffic laws maybe we should just dispense with all of them..If you don't agree you are anti driving..Yes we have too many gun restrictions. Yes we as law abiding citizens should be able to buy what we want when we want and carry where we want. We still need laws or we become a land of anarchy.

If you want the ability to protect yourself (with a firearm), don't commit a felony.  What happened to having responsibility for your own actions?

Sounds like something a left winger would say.

Do you honestly believe that our government is capable of creating a place where a high majority of life fuck-ups will magically become rehabilitated, productive members of society? LOL


The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

Let's try this with your logic:

Do you honestly believe that our government is capable of creating a system where people are justly parsed between those who should have a right to defend their own lives and those who shouldn't?

Because you somehow believe that they can do one, and not the other. Either they are highly competent, or they are not.

My father was convicted of a white collar crime felony. I don't want to go into the details, but he was a gambling addict and made a poor decision in regards to a relatively small amount of money (a couple thousand). He repaid all money plus interst and penalties. He hasn't gambled in 13 years. He is not nor has he ever been violent.

Why does his mistake cost him his right? You know what, FUCK YOU Commurado! I don't want to hear your fucking bullshit answer about treading on others rights you <coc> <coc-er>!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can't even keep felons from killing each other IN prison. What makes you think a gun law is going to stop them once they get out?

(Same question goes for drugs)
