“you actually want someone to sit and go through every felony conviction and determine whether the offender should be able to own a gun.”
Perhaps you are not aware that stretching for the worst possible interpretation of another person’s remarks is intellectually dishonest.
We would only need to establish the conditions under which a felon could petition for restoration of his right to self defense.
“how about vote? same process?”
The founding fathers very wisely established a representative republic rather than a mobocracy. Every expansion of the franchise has moved us closer to mobocracy, bringing us eventually to the Bamtard and potential fall of the Constitution.
that sounds a lot like going through case by case. now you want guidelines.
how about this guideline: you are convicted of committing an act that is defined by the law as a felony, you do not own a gun.
or is a businessman who commits securities fraud more deserving of a gun than an inner city youth who robs someone of $20?
