So in an attempt to deprive someone of their right to bear arms, some cop takes a bullet to the head. I'm sorry the guy had to get shot, but.. well you know.

IIRC, we banned that shit here in TX. Even in a catastrophe, they can't do that shit. I'm assuming they were only going house to house in the ghetto, but still.WHComment

Wrong. That individual did not have the right to possess a firearm.Originally posted by Gasser64 View Post
From the story:
"A man who officials say boasted of being a street "hellraiser" and who served prison time for attempted murder..."
He was a convicted felon."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

Exactly. I mean, what are the chances he'll try to kill someone again? 1 in 3, 2 in 3? I say 2 outa 3 ain't so bad.Originally posted by svo855 View PostComment

It is real simple. If someone can't be trusted to live in civil society after being let out of prison they should not be let out of prison.Originally posted by Craizie View PostMagnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

Because we have allll this space in prisons, and prisons are all about rehabilitation. Ok, got it.
If you guys want to allow someone who has proven that they have no intention of fitting in to society free reign to have any and all guns, then feel free to move in right next door to them. I, on the other hand, feel it prudent to restrict violent convicted felons from possessing firearms.
And really? You think THAT opens the door to the government restricting firearm ownership by model citizens? Oh, puhlease. They are busy at work trying to erode those rights through other means."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

FYI: Prison in TX is very explicitly NOT about rehabilitation. It is about punishment and that is written into the act/law that formed TDCJ out of the ashes of TDC in the 80s.Last edited by svauto-erotic855; 05-03-2015, 10:19 PM.Magnus, I am your father.

Does the constitution say felons shouldn't have guns? They left all that out for a good reason.Originally posted by helosailor View Post
Or better yet, if a once convicted felon is minding his own business and just generally trying to get on with his life, should he now be deprived of the right to defend his life? I think its you who is "wrong".
They've already been known to arrest and convict people in certain circumstances, just to get what they want on trumped up charges. Its only cause they haven't gotten it into their little pea brains, that they haven't started calling rolling through a stop sign a "felony" in order to attempt to deprive more people of guns. You should know how they operate by now.WHComment

Arguing for a convicted felon to have a gun? Wtf?sigpicComment

I would argue for just that. Once you agree to allowing the government to decide who can and can't have a gun you have lost the battle because they WILL NEVER stop adding more people to the list of who can't have them. The GCA was written with the intent of outlawing ALL private firearm ownership by the early 80s. If you don't believe that you should research what the law makers who wrote and passed the GCA had to say about it when they passed it. It has been driving the left nuts that they have not been able to pull that off yet.Originally posted by Magnus View PostMagnus, I am your father.
