The follow-on for that is felons and 5150 folks.

Now the question is why do we have the right to restrict their rights when there is no provision for that in the 2A?

I think the majority of people are comfortable stripping this right from felons and mentally unstable people but that lets the air out of the militant "shall not be infringed" argument. It really is it can only be infringed when enough of the right people agree.


BTW I think the simple felon provision is poorly thought out. I would much rather someone convicted of a non-violent white-collar crime possess a firearm than someone with a string (or even one) misdemeanor assault conviction.

The reality is most everyone is OK with some levels of "infringement".
