When they've been convicted of firing a gun at police, no.
No, they should not have guns in that case.

Guess that's hard to understand for some.

Rights can be deprived though due process. I tend to agree with the folks that think if a guy cant be trusted with a gun, he should never be released. It's still gun control and only as effective as any other law in that it only disarms those who are inclined to obey laws. A convicted felon intent on committing more crimes wont follow the law so it will only affect convicts who turned their life around.

I tend to agree with this. I have a cousin who is a convicted felon. He embesseled money from the bank he worked at. He's never done anything violent but because of this he can't own a firearm.

I had a great collection that he had to sell off during his trial. I got some sweet deals but I still don't think its right. He's welcome to use them anytime he pleases.

I say if he commits a serious crime, punish him severely for the crime.  Once his debt is paid then why continue to deprive him of his rights?  If he's that dangerous then why did you let him out?

I don't understand the way we apply the law in this country.  Some people that commit serious crimes get a slap on the wrist and other people get punished like crazy for what they "might" do.

What other constitutional rights are voided forever if you commit a felony?  Does he lose his First Amendment right?  5th?

I can agree with this on some laws. On both sides, in this mans case firing shot at police, probably shouldn't be brought back into society,

But a white collar crime, why deprive them of their rights if they were never violent?

Once he assumed control of a firearm it becomes a "felon in possession" in MS. Probably an aiding an abetting charge for you.
Be careful what you put on the internet.
For the record, non-violent felons should IMHO.

I agree with the above.  If we want to live in a "free country" we shouldn't deny rights beyond a sentence handed down by a judge.  There are consequences to freedom, and  I prefer to live in an armed society. Denying all felons the right to gun ownership is anti 2nd ammendment. But it's ok because it makes people "FEEL safe".  After all, bad guys shouldn't have guns right?  That just feels great until some twisted Judge appointed by a gun grabber meets you in a court of law.

Many felons have paid their penalties and erned their right to own firearms, to vote, to live freely in our "formerly free" country.

I always say we should take away the 8th so we can torture people. So they get convicted and then their 8th is stripped before their sentencing. Boom judge can sentence them to be flayed alive.

Rights CAN be infringed upon commission of a crime. Jail is a temporary suspension of your rights. Or should inmates have the right to bear arms?

In fact, upon conviction, you can even be deprived of your inalienable rights as named in the Declaration of Independence (while incarcerated, you do not have the right to liberty or the pursuit of happiness, and capital punishment can deprive you of life). There is nothing in the constitution that states that a suspension of rights based on an arrest has to end upon release from custody.

The sex offender list is an example of this. You are released from custody, having paid a debt to society, but due to a past history of dangerous behavior, certain rights are suspended (such as your ability to live where you choose).

I'm normally as conservative as it comes when it comes to gun rights, but somebody who has a history of shooting at police officers has a demonstrated history of disregard for life and the law, as well as poor impulse control.

And the law didnt keep him from arming himself. It only stops the guys who decide to obey the law and those are exactly the ones you dont have to worry about. Its as effective as any gun control in that sense.

Yeah I don't have any sympathy in this case. He's a felon and knows he isn't supposed to have any firearms. If he wants his firearm rights back he can get a lawyer and try to get appeal to get his rights back. Sorry but this is just how it is, doesn't matter if you don't agree with the laws. If you break the law and get caught there will be consequences plain and simple. He knew it and chose to risk it and got caught. It's not like they arrested some law abiding citizen for no reason. If that happens then I'd be worried.

That said I'm also of the camp that says if your serve your time your punishment is over.  

The really shitty part is that some people are in jail for over 20 years for selling weed.  Then someone will do something violent and be out in a few years.  So many stupid laws, shitty judges, horrible perversions of the law, and other assorted BS.  I'm not one to judge someone for making a mistake.
