Before the blanket condemnation perhaps one should look into what some states like CA consider certain crimes like 2nd degree burglary a misdemeanor and non-violent these days. View Quote |

They lost their rights for a reason. View Quote Many crimes are felonies. Fail to have proper workers compensation coverage for a new employee at a jobsite in FL even for one day due to an administrative error. Felony arrestable offense. Loss of 2nd Amendment and voting rights. |

They lost their rights for a reason. Once they have paid for their crimes, restore their rights. Obviously this doesn't mean let someone who murdered 5 people and somehow got released a gun... I means when someone murders someone they never get out or are put to death. If your safe to release and paid your debit to society restore their rights! |

Everybody, including the author of the article, is missing one gigantic point: There is a disconnect between the meaning of "Misdemeanor" and "Felony" in all these statutes. Historically, a misdemeanor is a crime punishable by UP TO one year in jail. This is reserved for petty crimes and offenses. A misdemeanor does not incur loss of civil rights (except for domestic violence incurring loss of firearms ranks thanks to that anal wart Lautenberg). A felony is a crime punishable by more than a year in jail. This results in loss of civil rights to own firearms, to vote, to serve on juries, to serve in public office. HOWEVER..... Some states got cute and create Misdemeanors punishable by 2 or 3 years in jail, like Maryland. These are not felonies, but they are punishable by more than a year in jail, so WHAM!! Firearms rights are lost. It's a work-around to fuck gun owners. This is bullshit. If it's punishable by more than a year in jail, make it a felony. If it's a misdemeanor, make it up to a year in jail and no more. Congress should be SPECIFIC and say "Felony," or the courts should correct it to say, "Well, Congress meant and should have said FELONY, so we're OK with restoring gun rights for misdemeanors regardless of length of punishment." View Quote Republicans could make a more permanent fix right to this kind of crap now, but , you know...they only have control the legislative branch and the executive branch. |

If you paid your debt to society then you should have your rights restored. All of them. Period.

They lost their rights for a reason. Every day, the average American commits three felonies. So argues civil-liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate in his new book “Three Felonies a Day,” the title of which refers to the number of crimes he estimates that Americans perpetrate each day because of vague and overly burdensome laws. Did you bother to read that drivel? |

Ah it was Adams!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

I'm more convinced everyday that there's no fixing the government, it has to be reformatted, fresh OS install. Murder is a crime not because it is wrong but because Government wants a monopoly on violence. We have two types of crime... Mala In Se and Mala Prohibita. Malum in se is a Latin phrase meaning wrong or evil in itself. The phrase is used to refer to conduct assessed as sinful or inherently wrong by nature, independent of regulations governing the conduct. Mala prohibita (the singluar is malum prohibitum) is a term applied to any action is criminalized strictly by statute and statutory law. The phrase is Latin, and translates as wrong because it is prohibited. Honestly good people don't need words on paper telling them that theft, murder, rape, etc... is bad. Those in power control us through Mala Prohibita. Regulation, Edicts, and Policy. There is nothing naturally wrong with not registering a vehicle or having a rifle barrel under 16 inches. |

Who could possible know the 10s of thousands of laws on the books. The Justice Industry is just as much of a weapon as the IRS. The legal system is such a convoluted disaster that no one really knows what is and isn't legal. We have no many laws on the books that aren't enforced yet still legal. Plus the number of laws that are enforced. It is so crazy you need specialists with years of training and understanding to simply enforce tiny sections of it. Let alone fight it in court. |

Remember that in NY or NJ you can be a nationwide prohibited person for life for simply having a handgun in your car without a permit or a 17rd handgun mag. Something that's not even illegal in most other states. Lifetime gun rights restrictions should be reserved for truly dangerous offenders: murderers ,rapists, armed robbers and the like. View Quote |

It's his job to enforce the law. Remember how mad we got (or many of us) when Obama's DOJ didn't want to defend federal law regarding gay stuff? They were wrong to not stand up to defend federal law.
