Shot over handgun

[CexMashean]

You just have to say, "adjudificated," and, "your majesty," a lot.

Or, you know, maybe not commit a felony in the first place?

That doesn't really matter, does it?

[CexMashean]

Sure as shit doesn't in the Constitution!

I still can't believe there are people who think felons convicted of violent crimes should have the right to legally purchase firearms. The only thing that makes me feel better is that "most" of the ones arguing for it are already considered crazy or mentally damaged by most people.

This is the first time you said violent. And not only that, people can change. Prison is designed to do exactly that. You do some hard time, and damned if you want to go back. So you can't say for certain, that somebody who beat up his wife, or stabbed somebody, is necessarily going to use a gun for anything other than self defense. They could, after all this time, be sorry the did what they did, and have long ago decided that wasn't going to be happening again. Just because a felon convicted of a violent crime gets hold of a gun, doesn't mean he automatically goes on a shooting spree.

This is where I stopped reading.

Why take the unnecessary risk? All we have is people's past. We know what has happened, not what will happen. Everyone gets a fair shake in this world. They determine their own destiny with their actions.

It would be a failure on our government not to regulate the restrictions on the felons.

[Gasser64]

Well you make a good point. I suppose if I was a felon and I had changed, I'd just keep a gun in the house on the DL. Many of them probably do. There is still the fact that the constitution didn't single anyone out like that, for the right to bear arms.

Correct, but they used to kill more convicts back then.

Now see I'd accept that as a fair trade off

A couple of people posting in this thread wouldn't be here to weigh in on this argument if that were the case.

lol, but maybe they were the ones that wouldn't have been hanged. There were some that did indeed just go to prison even back then. I mean hell, you could beat your wife with the rule of thumb. Take that you bitch! Teach her to mouth off again...

[svauto-erotic855]

I don't need to read up on the GCA because I know it back to front. You're moving into contrailesque conspiracy levels now.

I have no doubt that you know that act front to back but that is not what I was talking about. The politics that got the act passed and what the people who passed it said about it is what I was referring to.

I noticed he still hasn't honestly answered his question regarding his felony conviction that has him so sour.

Possession of a rape tool
Aggravated sexual assault of a police dog
Aggravated sexual assault of a police officer
Felony suspicious suspiciousing
3 counts capital murder
Possession of a farm animal for the intent of pleasure
Felony creeping peeping
Felony driving under the speed limit while in the left lane

OH SHIT SON! #winning

Sidebar: SVO has to be trolling, he can't honestly think it's a good idea or even a rational one, to think that giving felons guns unchecked is a good idea.

I am not talking about allowing all felons to have them. Just the ones that are deemed safe enough to be released from prison.

*nod* very true, or make law abiding citizens fill out paperwork for their muskets.

so not the,ones still in prison? LMFAO! Whatever dude.

The reason most are released is because there are stipulations put on you once released. Once someone commits a felony, they are giving up their rights to be a regular person. You can't have your crime and live like the rest of us too. You don't get the same rights as other law-abiding citizens. You have been deemed a potential threat based on something you have already done. People aren't released because they have been rehabilitated. Our jails would just be over-crowded.

This made me laugh. Good job.

Oh, so even the habitual offenders in prison that finally somehow manage to reach the end of their sentence should automatically get their rights back? Yeah, I don't see that being a good idea. Maybe you can explain how it's a good idea to the class? I'm probably not going to agree with you based on what you've already said, but I'd like to know your reasoning.
