...and when a convicted felon like Jean Lafitte offers you cannons for the coming battle, you pardon him.

“Any American that is not a convicted felon.”

I’m guessing that it wasn’t always that way. It doesn’t make sense to me why someone that they have deemed worthy of society again and is out of prison shouldn’t have all the rights of other free men. If they are still so dangerous as to not be allowed weapons - keep them locked up.

I don’t believe you will find such heresy within the Constitution of the United States of America. The right of the people shall not be infringed, and since convicted felons have shown themselves to be lawless, why would anyone consider them when addressing who can be armed.

The Second Amendment is clear, and Felons don’t need a second amendment, they will be armed regardless, which is precisely why we the people should never be disarmed for any reason, especially any reason based on broad specifics such as crazy, mental health, convicted felon, domestic abuse, can’t take care of oneself, aged, infirm, all such are distractions that really should not even be addressed, as they lead to movements to disarm the public as reasonable or even necessary.

Considering individual rights of “we the people”, once you have disarmed any group, or individual, you then become responsible for their personal protection, as you have taken away their ability to protect themselves. So now all crazy people and convicted felons become wards of the State. That isn’t exactly what you had in mind was it?
