Sickening...just sickening. If you are considered too dangerous to have access to a firearm, you are too dangerous to be walking amongst society, period. Once a felon has "done their time," their rights (all of them) should be recognized and not infringed.
This is not a failure of the legal system, but it sure as Hell is the replacement of the justice system.
We have witnessed time after time how judges throw cases into the prosecutor's lap.
Sean commiserated above how we just "take it". My comment following is an example of why we must, for the moment, be available to exact revenge. Not justice, not recompense, revenge.
This is what our courts have decided is the only recourse we have. Though, most probably they aren't aware of what they have done, they have done it. There now ever increasing risk is still unknown to them, but these dogs will come home to them, and they will be feral.
One does not have to dial 9-1-1 to get his life screwed.
One of the federal inmates I see on a daily basis managed to get his life screwed up by telephoning a sheriff's deputy to ask what he should do about legalizing a shot gun he had recently purchased that had a barrel 1/2 inch too short.
The deputy recommended that he disassemble the gun, destroy the barrel, and order a replacement barrel of legal length.
Unknown to both of them, the DEA had a wiretap on the deputy's phone as a result of another ongoing investigation.
Next day, the man's house was searched by BATFE and the disassembled shotgun along with about 40 other legal firearms was seized. The man I've been talking to was sentenced to 8 years, the deputy was sentenced to 18.
Don't know all the details, this story is just what I was told by the inmate.
Quite frankly, the "right to keep and bear arms" is ABSOLUTE.
ReplyDeletethat applies even to criminals.
the only gun laws that are moral are those that punish law-breakers who use a gun in the commission of a crime.
