[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3337213, member: 745"] You and I agree on many things but not on all of this. You mentioned that a felon can get a firearm if they try hard enough. [SIZE=2](I don't think it's all that hard.)[/SIZE] That right there makes the case for not releasing any adjudicated violent felon from a prison or institution until it can be proven they are not a threat to society. As you have mentioned, we do not have the technology to read a person's mind so there is no way to prove they are not a threat to society. Sucks to be them. If, some day, it can be proven they are not a threat, or have their mind inculcated with a conscience, then release them. Until then, being convicted of a violent crime, if not executed, it's a life sentence. I don't think it would be a problem if Martha Stewart kept and bore arms. I can see forbidding her to work on the stock market [SIZE=2](It's not a protected right)[/SIZE], but not forbidding her to keep and bear arms. She shouldn't even have to petition the government to have her Right to Keep and Bear Arms 'restored'. YMMV. Woody [/QUOTE]
