Look, nothing personal here skull, :-}, but you're wrong. Life and liberty rank up there right along side the the RTKBA. Are you arguing that felons can not have those rights abridged?
The state doesn't abridge the right of felons, the felons do that to themselves, sort of like when a Priest has sex with a young boy, he excommunicates himself from the church and is no longer entitled to the right of communion.
You have to learn a bit of nuance. I've already stated that all of these abridgements need to be case specific and as an aside they should be appealable.
But your lecture to me on Stalin and Mao and the Pope is falling on deaf ears. I'm well aware of the genesis of the second amendment and I support it. I have guns, I vote pro gun and I've contributed time and money.
On the other hand, felons who prey on the innocent and the weak are going to get zero sympathy from me. Maybe you could work on Sink?
I agree with that.
Not likely. I don't know any felons.
And, one of the penalties of committing a felony is that it stays with you. You can't buy a gun, you can't vote, and you can't get a decent job.
You sound just like Molly.
LOL! Is that it?
You, dane, Roscoe and a few other hardcore tight-holed types behave exactly the same when you're losing an argument. Ya'll can't seem to back your frigid dogma with critical thinking. You just have to hold your warped religion dear at all cost, no matter how much logic you're presented with. Thank God there's so few of you running around here.
I'll give you another shot at backing up your utterly stupid and irrelevant response.
I know someone who was convicted of joyriding when he was 19 (nearly 40 years ago). Since then, he's grown a 2 million dollar real estate busines, became a county commisioner and is active in his church... in addition to being a wonderful human being.
Yet the morons amongst us would have him and his family slaughtered should anyone have the will to do so.
Now, show me where any drunkeness or insanity is displayed in the above remarks.
This is what will transpire; a. You'll type another blockheaded repsonse that has nothing to do with anything. b. You'll put your tail between your legs and say nothing at all. In any case you won't be able to support your falsehoods. The reason I know this is because it's exactly how intellectual weaklings behave.
The problem is all the Barbara Streisand that's classified as a felony. Being a stupid teenager should not cost someone their right to vote or 2nd amendment rights etc.
Also, Rights are given to all by our Creator, not by the central government. Governments cannot grant, nor take away rights. It only protects or violates rights.
You probably do and just dont know it.
Go to any restaraunt. Statistically, 1/4 of the waitresses have a felony conviction, usually for possession with intent to distribute, simply because they made the mistake of going out with the wrong guy & she was with him when he got pulled over & busted for his personal dime bag.
1/2 of the cooks will have a felony conviction, either for posession or for getting in a drunken bar fight when they were 21.
Slaughtered?
BEST, you're the master at erecting a strawman, knocking him down, and blaming someone else for it.
But, you'll whine as you always do.
And who would that be? Carlton Sheets?
