If we cannot trust a person with a gun then that person does NOT belong in our society.
Restricting any right on felons, the underaged, and the mentally defective is not infringement if they have been adjudicated!
...Keeping someone locked up "until they're trustworthy" doesn't work. Who decides that? Who are you willing to give that power to? Who ensures the government doesn't abuse that power?...
So, am I to assume that everybody who voted for "No Restrictions" would be perfectly fine with a gun store selling an automatic weapon to a 12 year old gang member who's already spent time in juvenile hall for shooting at a policeman? That strikes me as beyond irresponsibility.
Those people arguing "no restrictions period" are arguing an Unconstitutional viewpoint.
The restrictions are getting tighter.
We cannot suffer this issue to be interpreted as gray any longer. You are either free or not.
I also worry that Heller gives with one hand, and takes away with another. Lots more case law is needed before we will see whether it was really a 'win'.
Making up things that aren’t true is not the same as making a point. Here is a partial list of things stated in this thread that in fact are not true:I think the point has been made several times, over and over, repeatedly and redundantly,
Have you heard of NetFlicks?I have children. 12, 10, 8, 6, 3, 1 are the ages.
Rolled any stop signs lately?
No gun for you! You have exhibited a disdain for the rules of society...
Oh, you meant felons.
Bounced any checks lately?
Taken a pee against a tree in the National Forest?
I think the point has been made several times, over and over, repeatedly and redundantly, that expansion of the crimes classed as "felonies" has become ridiculous.
And perhaps by October 13th, 2009, hollering at your kid may be a felony.
Ridiculous?
I'm just looking at the trend.
Maybe some of you (now 101) who voted for any kind of restriction should look at the trends, too.
After all, rolling stop signs and red lights is rife with danger to other citizens. We must stop this behavior and make it a felony...
And while we're at it, we should make Macwendyking stop selling all those harmful transfats.
Everything, after all, should be either illegal or compulsory.
Where are my pitons and carabiners? I'm gonna need them on this slope.I think the key term that we who have said there are some restrictions is "violent" felons. Those who have shown a disdain for others rights by doing them harm. As for keeping them all in prison, are you willing to pay the 100-200% (or more) taxes for constructing and maintaining prisons? Simply stated, all LAW ABIDING citizens should be able to carry where they wish. Those who have demonstrated the inability to respect others rights to safety should be restricted from ownership.

If the way it is is so important, why are we making things up about 13 Oct 2009?But.
That's.
Not.
The.
Way.
It.
Is.
If the way it is is so important, why are me making things up about 13 Oct 2009?
Source, please?...with an increasing number of crimes classified as felonies...
