I sure wish I could agree with you folks, but we have a law right now that forbids anyone guilty of committing a felony from ever owning a gun again in their lifetime. It matters not if it was an infraction involving violence or a gun. One felony and you can never again defend your family from home invasion.

If a person has kept their nose clean for decades, it would seem that they could be considered to be rehabilitated. You only serve about seven years on average for a murder, but fifty years later and you still won’t be forgiven for committing a felony somewhere along the line.

So, I’m not confident the courts will defend gun rights. They have shown very little proclivity to do so. Yes, there are some instances...

All it takes is a permanent restraining order--no conviction at all necessary. ...or a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction. The NRA didn't do anything about that, either, or the right of good young folks to possess firearms (another bill, now law). Parents can be imprisoned, if their teens are caught with firearms and without notes of permission. Fred Thompson voted in favor of that one.

Republican members of Congress voted nearly unanimously in favor of the VAWA (re. restraining orders). With that, they lost about 15 million fathers' rights advocates (including daughters, second wives,...). Quite a few of us continued to vote Republican through 2004, to give Republicans one last chance to repeal some bad laws. But that was the end of it, IMO. Now we only see flighty feminists, free slavers, lying celebrities, and the like, in politics: very special interests.

I'm legal to own firearms. But it's wrong that the rights of so many good men are violated for no more reason, than they were once living with troublemaking tramps (corporate/government whores) and fighting with all of their other dogs (boyfriends).

Fonda, Smeal, Shalala, Reno, Pelosi and Napolitano are products of our sexually confused and selfish leadership (both political parties). Domestic violence and other violence have increased terribly for decades during this political trend after the late-1960s.
