Constitutionally - the government has the responsibility to PROTECT and DEFEND our rights (rights are God-given).
Constitutionally - when does a person “qualify” to have rights stripped?
Further - if a felon has paid his/her complete debt to society... then why do they still not have their Constitutional rights? They still have the right to trail by a jury of their peers. What is with the selective stripping of rights?
Further - if we actually dolled out justice as it was done when our Bill of Rights was written - then a lot of those violent felons we strip 2nd Amendment rights from would be a moot point, because they would have been hanged by the neck until dead... dead men need no rights.
IF a person is such a danger to society WITH their 2nd Amendment rights in effect, then maybe they shouldn’t be IN society in the first place. A danger is a danger.
Never, except under due process.
BTW, I was agreeing with your post, was just pointing out the absurdities of the law....just to be clear ;)
