If you're eligible to vote again, you should be eligible to possess arms again.

Rights are rights.

Those are rookie numbers

Most people should not vote, fact!

You can also add to that list the likes of Robert Downy Jr. & Tim Allen.

This is where we can apply a little common sense (I hate that term these days). I don't believe murderers, rapists, or child predators deserve redemption; they should never be release back into society nor should they be a burden on the taxpayer for a life sentence.

A lot of domestic abuse, gang shit, youthful activities involving violence and even assault are from younger people who are in the wrong environment and haven't developed the maturity to control their actions or make smart decision in life. IF, big IF, they are incarcerated and given the chance to serve their sentence and demonstrate their ability to assimilate back into a society of law and order, their suspension of personal liberties should last as long as their probation...which should be no less than 5-10 years to prove their ability to remain a good citizen (which I doubt most will).

The Constitution is for US Citizens, you forfeit your citizenship when you harm others in society. Once you serve your debt to society, your citizenship status should be restored automatically if the individual can avoid their felonious lifestyle for a period of probation.

I know nothing about his case and have zero interest in it, but if this rapper kid served his time and kept his record clean after his release (how likely?), why shouldn't he be allowed to own a firearm? I'm sure he's able to freely exercise his 1A rights, and I bet there's nothing stopping him from voting. I know it's hard to defend someone like this knowing the rates of recidivism, but if we actually focused on facts of their charges to fully prosecute criminal behavior and the punishment matched the crime and progressed at a geometric rate for recidivism to the point "three strikes" meant life in prison or immediate death, less 2A proponents would argue against the defendant.

Too true

The NFA/GCA are victimless laws that shouldn't be there in the first place. As is, the process to have an SBR should be no different than registering a vehicle (without the stupid tax), and anyone "unlicensed" should be just given a warning the first time and a citation the second, third time should be a simple "impound" the firearm until you register. Only as an analogy as I don't think any NFAs should be registered or treated any different than any firearm, but if you apply the same laws to those who speed, have marijuana, get caught doing graffiti, or some other "victimless" violation of the law, the NFA would be nothing more than a suggestion until caught doing something that would attract LE attention.

Well, it worked well for England in the 19th century.  

Not only did they execute robbers, and murderers, I believe they normally carried out the sentence promptly, such as at dawn the day after the guilty verdict.

I can't confirm that happened in absolutely all cases though.

Learns chemistry maliciously.

But it's totally fine to spend a few years in jail and then be allowed to buy knives, crossbows, etc and be free to go sit in a movie theater or restaurant right next to innocent law abiding people.  That's perfectly okay, even if you murdered people, because once the government lets you out, as long as you can't buy a gun on a 4473, you are totally neutered and no longer a threat to society at all in any way.

Exactly.

And there are too many "crimes" on the books, which is why prison overcrowding is a problem.  

We need to pare back all of the rules, laws and restrictions so they can fit in a pocket reference the size of a paperback novel, using a reasonably large font.

And things like car theft is modern day horse theft, and should carry the death penalty.  If you steal the equivalent of thousands of hours of time working to earn the money to buy a car, that's time the car owner can never get back.  It's like taking time off the end of their life.  Like making them die sooner.  Theft, is a form of deferred murder.  And it should be punished like murder.
