Supposedly by your 'logic' if someone gets their driver's license revoked then they must be incarcerated, too.

If those charged as felons are still considered dangerous, you have to wonder why they didn't keep them locked up.

Daft logic on your part cj, as losing a driving license still permits you to own and ride in, thus 'use' a vehicle.
In the case at hand, the state is claiming it can flat out prohibit ownership/possession of certain types of property, based on what 'might' happen if it is misused.
That claim clearly violates the rule of constitutional law. -- We have an inalienable right to life, liberty, and property.. See the 14th.

I think if you are a dangerous felon, you shouldn't be out of prison in the first place. If you're a domestic abuser --- beating your wife half-to-death or threatening to kill your family --- then you should be locked up. If you are not a danger --- but you could be in fear for your own life --- why shouldn't you have the right to protect yourself? If you committed a serious crime --- but you aren't dangerous, you could have some pretty bad enemies who wish to kill you --- shouldn't you have the same right to self-protection that I, a more innocent person has?
