If you are illegally in possession of a firearm (by federal law) then yes. Very easy to understand.So if I get caught speeding I become a felon & lose my 2A rights???
Not big on state rights, I see.
I lived in IL and CT. Ever see the state laws in NY, CA, MA, NJ, IL, CT, etc? So, no, I don't believe in state rights when it comes to firearms. The states abuse them. I guess you believe in state suppression of firearms. That's ok, we can agree to disagree.
How about we treat non-violent felons for what they are - non-violent - and violent felons for what they are - violent - and craft our laws accordingly?
Agree 100%
.
How about you don't lose your 2A rights just because raising your voice during an argument with your wife happens to constitute assault in your locality?
Agree 100% as well. Are you saying you are not big on state or local rights and laws? Contradicts what you said earlier.
The truth is we have so many federal, state and local laws on firearms that it needs to be the same everywhere for gun rights and gun owners. Like it or not, that means federal jurisdiction of gun laws, not state or local. Too many cooks in the kitchen here. I'd like to be able to drive from NC to CT or IL and not have to worry about disarming when I enter these states. Some states have local laws that are even worse than the state laws. This is not right.
