Quite to the contrary, I think that far from insulating good citizens, it would only serve to speed the passage of more restrictive gun laws on everyone, as you are providing no other choice. Frankly, taking guns away from people who have feloniously used firearms strikes me as an actual common sense gun law.
You want to give the public an ultimatum that they must allow convicted rapists and thieves to be fully armed, or they must disarm everyone. Sorry, but I'm not about to draw myself into that death trap.
A man who has robbed a bank or raped a woman with a gun has lost his rights by his own choice, and deservedly so. I will not tie my destiny to his with the odd notion that if he is punished, I cannot be free.
See my post at 121 and 124. I think you are stating some good examples of my legal position. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I wrote up a huge post, but I read through it and thought some more. I decided to leave you with this.
Some of the things that those great patriots we call the Founders did during the American Revolution would today be considered felonies.
