“... the rights of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed....”
That is a mouthful of an open can-o-worms. Most of the “bad” felons already have arms or ready access to them. The “good” felons don’t, and they are everywhere and defenseless for life. Anyone on a given bad or unfortunate day can become a felon. The Constitution and Bill of Rights protections are nearly non-existant for them. Does anyone know where they really stand on this issue? Tomorrow, one might accrue a new perspective...for life.
I know a guy that is scared to have a firearm to defend his family because he has a family member with a record and is frightened that he will violate his release if he visits his home.
It is a mess.
But the left would do well to focus on the mess rather than the law abiding.
Yep. And you know that if they wanted a firearm, they could get one faster than you could.
