I agree.
My late brother messed up when he was 17 years old. Drunk and high, he held up someone. He went to prison. After getting out, he never saw the inside of even a police car for the rest of his life! Not even a speeding ticket!
After he got out he got married, he had three kids, he started his own metal building/welding company, bought 24 acres of land, and owned three horses. With all that, according to the laws in most states, my brother didn’t have the RIGHT to defend himself, his wife, his children, his property, nor his business.
How anyone, especially a “conservative”, could think that makes sense is beyond any reasonable, rational thinking!
Agree with you. People can make mistakes and too many things are called felonies. It just another backdoor infringement.
ExTx;
No he had the right to self defense, just not the lawful use of arms.
I am aware of several cases where a felon used a firearm to defend his life within the law and was not prosecuted for possession of arms.
But, yes, I hear ya, a permanent deprivation of rights (other than capital punishment, or life in prison sentence) is not within the constitution or of natural rights law.
