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 View Quote 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? There have been threads here where they have argued that the rights in the Constitution are not unalienable I believe it. It's damn ignorant |

I'm OK with children being prevented from buying firearms. Thats the only one I can think of. Am I a FUDD or something now?

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 ... Only a liberal believes prisions rehabilitate. You committed a crime, the punishment was you lose a prescribed number of years off your life. If the crime is bad enough you lose them all. I do consider myself a liberal, in the Jeffersonian and James Madison sense of the word. I guess you don't agree with those guys |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: So violent felons and schizophrenics should have guns? I'm confused. Why are those violent felons out of jail? Why are those schizophrenics that can't be trusted with a gun not committed? I'm confused. Felons go to prison, not jail. There is a difference. Where is it written that incarceration is the only possible punishment for a crime? This false dichotomy - prison or freedom - is one thing about this site that perplexes me. Where does it come from? |

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. Then go ahead and offer up your money to pay for their life sentences. I'm fine with them being set free even on the condition that they may not be 'rehabilitated' but I still think they lost their right to own a firearm. 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 |

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. |

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. |
