[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1562787, member: 18314"] Mentally ill, children, and criminals are people too. They have rights. Why are they suddenly disallowed their free exercise of their constitutional rights? There is no exception for the mentally ill, children, or felons in the constitution. Why are you trying to disarm them? Not federally and not in Oklahoma, but there are states that completely ban the private ownership of machine guns and suppressors. And those laws were upheld as constitutional. On the flip side, there are states that ALLOW the ownership of suppressors without registration and without the stamp tax, and also allow the possession of brand spankin new machine guns for private owners... as long as the suppressors and machine guns were made in-state and never left the state. And that is legal because the federal congress has power over interstate commerce only. As long as the suppressors or machine guns don't ever cross state borders, state laws apply. The old gay porn to kids : plastic gun comparison is to show that there are times when it is justifiable to restrict someone's constitutional rights, even if they are mentally capable, over 18, and have never committed a crime in their life. You're essentially holding a double standard; it's ok to sometimes restrict 1A rights, but it's never ok to restrict 2A rights. I'm pointing out that you should rethink your stance from an objective view point. [/QUOTE]
