which brings up the "do the time, repay your debt, rights restored argument".

the man has a right to bear arms, for hunting and for self defense, if he was still a threat to the public, he'd still be in prison...

flame away, but i don't think you have a match to stand on...

He does not, unless he has followed the required procedures and had his rights restored. If he was still a threat? Well, he is a two time covicted burglar already. Meaning he is quite possibly a career burglar and just in between convictions. We don't (usually) lock people up for life after their first or second conviction for burglary. He obviously has no respect for the law since he was in posession of the firearm and aparently has a "the law doesn't apply to me" attitude. He got what he asked for and can't say no one ever told him you end up in jail for ignoring the laws. He's no victim of an unjust law, he's a three time felon.

If that is not a match, I don't know what would be. Perhaps you're just pro crime?

The problem with the ACC statute is that there is no time limit on the priors. In other words the two prior burglaries could have been when this man was a juvenile and still be the basis for the minimum mandatory 15 years.

The Constitution also says that felons do not have this right! To many gun control laws have been put in effect because this one has not been properly enforce. We need this kind of strict enforcement and lock up even more felons hunting deer!

[Thumper1960]

Considering how many infractions of the "law" can be, and are, felonies.....I'm inclined to agree with you. If one thinks the Tax Codes are a labryth, consider the patchwork of criminal and civil laws, rules and regulations-Federally and locally.

Actually he doesn't have the right. He's a convicted felon. No gun for him. End of story.

No flames...you are correct sir.
