Just because it doesn't prevent it doesn't mean the law shouldn't exist, though.

It looks like you are agreeing that it basically exists to beef up sentencing. If you aren't, then what's the point of the law?

That's why you forfeit your rights when taking these rights of others. People tend to forget this. You take a life? Your forfeit yours.

I mean, it would be ridiculous to say "anyone who drinks any alcohol ever should not be allowed to own a firearm", right?


Right? That statement is so reasonable...yet, heads will explode over this shite.

No. You are fabricating my agreement based on your desire for me to stop humiliating you in this thread.

Laws exist as deterents. Just because certain segments of society don't follow the law doesn't mean laws shouldn't exist.

If the law were some absurd law, as you read about, like the law in Alabama that says it is a crime to wear a fake mustache in church that causes laughter, then that is obviously unreasonable and should no longer be on the books.

There is nothing absurd about a law that seeks to restrict violent felons from possessing a gun.

The point of the law is in the interest of public safety, like all laws. It is in the general public's best interest to make it difficult for a violent felon to obtain a firearm.

Is that what's happening?

This law applies only to that "certain segment of society," though.

I didn't call anything absurd.

Do you think there should be any restrictions on the 2A?


I think age restrictions and restrictions on violent offenders are reasonable. Other than that, not really.

And it seems hard to separate gun rights from voting rights when it comes to restoration after a felony conviction.


There is no Constitutional right to vote.

Correct but that's not an argument in your favor.

Criminals don't obey laws by definition. However, felony possession of a firearm laws guarantee that when the criminal breaks the law and is prosecuted, he is removed from society for a much longer time.

Laws aren't solely intended to prevent crime; they are also used to remove offenders from society.,

How about a crack addict, because the same law the SC just overturned was used against Hunter Biden for being a crackhead while possessing a firearm.


Nope. Hunter was charge with lying on purchase application.

You should read on before replying. I already covered this

There were three charges for Hunter. Lying on the federal form was one of the 3 but the law the SC struck down today was one of the laws used to charge him

The 3rd charge was lying to a federally licensed gun dealer
