Good, they can get motivated while they spend 2/3 of their life behind bars. Career criminal are just that,,,, career criminals. Do they fear jail? No. Are we better off as a society when they are locked up? Yes. When they are in boot camp, earning their street cred, they aren't robbing or raping citizens. When they get out they'll pick up where they left off. They are scum.
Good for them. So they won't care when they don't get their rights back so why bother to give them back? Because they'll get a gun anyways? And you call my thoughts backwards? How about they get a few years tacked on when they go back for illegally carrying a handgun? Works for me!
Whatever, dude. See above. As you've said, they'll get one anyways so why make it legal? Your argument goes against itself.
So because ex-con Johnny can't legally own a gun or vote he'll just go back to his criminal life? Seriously? By your words he's going to go back anyways. So, which way is it? Gangsta Johnny, who just earned his street cred in boot camp now gets out with all his ribbons and since he can legally own a gun he now turns the straight and narrow? Yeah, my thinking is flawed like you say. Yours makes perfect sense. Yep, uh huh.
Just because you feel strongly about what you are saying doesn't make me and people who think like me wrong. It doesn't make you wrong either. As I said before, we can agree to disagree.
So don't bother arguing. It's falling on deaf ears because I don't think you are right. We can skew every poll and study out there to fit our own point of view. We just disagree and you won't change my mind and I won't change yours. You are entitled to your opinions but remember, they are your opinions. They mean nothing to me.
