but not for violent criminals and especially those convicted of gun crimes. They forfeited their rights when they illegally shot someone.
First, gun crimes doesn’t always equal violent crimes.
Second, rights are inalienable, and once someone has served their time and punishment, ALL rights should be restored. What other rights are you okay with taking away once someone’s sentence is done?
Lastly, “I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery”-Rousseau. The freedom of our society trumps your right to take away others rights to make you feel secure.
Bet you consider yourself a small govt conservative huh?

But I’m not in favor of giving people who’ve already proven that they are willing to illegally kill or maim others the right to own firearms.
This is insanity.

I don’t think someone convicted of molesting children should be allowed to open a daycare. Do you?
Taking away certain rights in perpetuity, including the right to bear arms, should absolutely be an option when it comes to sentencing. But it’s an option—it certainly shouldn’t be done for all felonies.
