[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2073850, member: 7557"] Every felony and one misdemeanor means a life sentence of lost rights to own a firearm. Regardless of what or when the citizen's crime was, society has decided that no felon or misdemeanor abuser can ever pay their debt to society, for as long as they live. It doesn't matter of a gun was involved in the crime, or not. It doesn't matter if it was a violent, or victimless crime, or not. It doesn't matter if it is a 19 year old that plea bargained charges for a bag of pot planted under his seat, because he was too poor to have the attorneys the rich kid would have, or the man who's vengeful ex-girlfriend got a conviction of domestic violence for the bruises she suffered on her knuckles. All people who have been convicted for any of those things we've all seen on the form 4473 are sentenced for life and forever prohibited from being able to defend themselves, their families and possibly their country. I'm not sure, but when I was a kid, I thought felons could actually pay their debt to society, serve their sentence, rejoin society and regain their Second Amendment and other rights. In order for the Federal government to "keep us safe" and since safety is more important than liberty, many Americans agree that these people should be forever stripped of their liberty. Personally, I disagree and feel that many, if not most all of these barred people should at some point in time, have their liberty returned. Do you believe that all felons and misdemeanor domestic violence convicts should be forever bared from firearms? If so, why? [/QUOTE]
