Whether we agree with them or not, the disqualification criteria have already been decided.
1. I don't agree with them. If someone cannot be trusted with a gun, they cannot be trusted without a custodian. How about we reserve lifetime forfieture for crimes that carry potential lifetime forfieture of liberty? Yeah, there are some areas where a rapist serves less than two years on average. For an average killer it might be five. Responsibility for that injustice rests squarely with the legislatures.
2. The disqualification criteria aren't engraved on stone tablets brought down from the mount, they are creeping. The last change added any domestic "incident" - retroactively despite the Constitutional prohibition on ex posto facto laws. But they just do not care. Does anyone want to wager that there are no divorce attorneys who routinely make that allegation for every single female client they represent? Sure they do. Because it works. And there is zero downside if they are proven wrong. And the reality is, facing that charge, the burden of proof is on the defendant. There are plenty of convictions based on the uncorroborated, unsubstantiated accusation with zero evidence in support. I do mean zero.
3. There is a book out titled Three Felonies a Day where the author argues that the average person commits three felonies every day without even knowing. Between feds and states, there are around fifty thousand new laws every year, yet I'll wager money the average member here can't list five off the top of their head. Most statutes in the criminal code are felonies and you could replace 95% with a single statute criminalizing failure to display sufficient deference and obedience to our lords and masters of the public servant sector. The Queen in Wonderland would be jealous.
3. Then there is Lavrentiy Beria, former head of the NKVD, the precursor to the KGB, who said "Show me the man, I'll show you the crime." Look what the left is trying to do to anyone that stands up to their march forward in history, or even simply disagree. They are the reincarnation of the Red Guards of Mao.
4. I could picture any single current Democrat candidate (and fully half the Republicans who secretly dream) of simply making sure nobody is there to answer the phone. If a majority of each chamber is Democrat or Quisling, they will just leave it out of the budget.
5. In Florida they passed a law giving the state 3 or 5 days to complete their check. After that time is up, proceed with sale since the state can't find any reason to prohibit it. What did Florida do? If you guessed create a brand new category of status and put pending sales in indefinite limbo, you would be correct.
6. What other right must you endure prior restraint until permission is granted, otherwise risk being sent off to a steel and concrete cage for a very long time? Go ahead commies pick one that you like and we'll try that one first. With you.
