Unlike Most


In my Gorsuch piece yesterday, I linked to a National Review piece, which said in a call-out for emphasis:
Most in the gun community would agree that violent felons and the mentally deranged should be denied the right to arms and that doing so does not infringe the Second Amendment.
Not me, not unless they're segregated from the rest of us after receiving full due process. It makes no sense and is criminally irresponsible to allow proven threats to move freely among those who live responsibly.  You wouldn't open the cage and let a man-eating tiger loose simply because an arbitrary sentence behind bars had been served.

Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian.

Don't argue with me about that truth, argue with the tiger.
