Convicted Felon and guns

[fjolnirsson]

One day, in the future, everyone will be a felons. That will make it easier to take all rights away.

Yep. At least, that's how the fine state of CA is headed.
I haven't noticed the part in our Constitution where it says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged unless you're a felon. If they can't be trusted, don't let them out. Kill them.

Somehow I have a lot of trouble working up sympathy for felons.

Yes. Its easy to allow the rights of the "others" to be violated. If you feel that a felon forfeits all rights, that he is inherently evil, and is beyond salvation, advocate putting him out of misery with a bullet in the forehead.

I like the "criminal incurs a debt owed to society" analogy. A felon obviously incurs a debt that is payable only with his life, since he is prohibited, as others have pointed out, for the remainder of his life. Except, of course, when the good will of the State allows his felony to be expunged.

If the debt has been paid, nothing more is owed. If a criminal's very life is owed, take his life. But don't relegate him to second class citizenship.

Yes. Thank you.
