Can a convicted murderer make guns?

[LightningCrash]

Ever heard of David Marshall (Carbine),Williams?

At least it went on reasonably well for 45 minutes.

He's exactly why I made this thread.

and isn't an m1 carbine pretty much a crap design ?

It doesn't do anything very well.

At least a 5.56 vs 7.62 argument has valid arguments for each round.

Flame suit on!!

boooo!

Calling the M1 a crap design makes me want to punch a puppy.

I'm going against the grain on this one. If a person was convicted, sentenced and served their time, then they have paid their debt. PERIOD. There is no other argument here. I'm also against continually persecuting someone after they have served their time. If their debt is paid, then they should also have their GUARANTEED 2A right reinstated. Nowhere does it say "except for....".

This. Except for in the case of Murder, I am in favor of the death penalty, so the only way to serve the sentence is to die. Sorry, but the victim did not get a second chance, so neither should the killer.

Felons should have no rights... Even non-violent felons

have to disagree with that

i have a freind that was caught at a very young age taking football bets for a bookie parlay cards and such when they busted him he had quite a bit of his own money at the house too. he made a deal with the DA they keep all they money they found in the house even his money he had to plead guilty to a felony and sentence would be defered ( of course for all his money) 25 years later he owns a pretty large company pays a lot of taxes and has never had so much as a speeding ticket since. you will never convince me he does not have a right to protect his family

 

[TwoForFlinching]

I'll state that I think non-violent felonies shouldn't be prosecuted as such until 21, because all kids are stupid at some point...

But after 21, felony is felony. Anything to the contrary is like saying hunters/fishermen aren't responsible for knowing the rules... Ignorance is bliss, but ignorance cannot excuse crime.

 

[Drebin]

Can they? Yeah. Should they? Hell no! They should be hung so we don't have to deal with their a$$ till they die of old age! Maybe then the next murderer will think twice. No free meals and warm place to stay for you dickhead. If a violent felon non murderer wants to sell weapons blueprints the money should go to something good like the police or schools.

 

[J.P.]

My opinion is that if you have been convicted of murder you should be executed. So that's a no.

Even if you're innocent?

 

[ssgrock3]

Should an ex-con who did time for murder be able to own, design and manufacture firearms?

Would you buy one if he made a good design, or would you have some sort of reason to abstain?

Is there any point to this wtf question? The law of the land stands.

Is there any point to this wtf question?

Yes--its purpose is to make you think about the laws we have. Under the current laws of the land, we probably wouldn't have had the M1 Carbine or the short-stroke gas piston action because Carbine Williams would very likely have been executed for his crime under the terms of the 1994 "Crime Bill" (I forget the enacted Act's title).
