But the problem is, they didn't pay their debt. Like you said, they weren't shot during their crime. I think everyone who abuses their bill of rights to harm someone on purpose, should lose their right. Those rights are precious. People would think twice if they knew they could be taken away. That includes yelling fire, causing people to die by trampling because a person thought it'd be a funny prank. Those people would serve as reminders.Hold on...
I think we have a problem...
Why a felon?
I have a problem with people being denied their rights and a felon is entitled to rights just like anyone else. So I don't think any felony should remove someones rights.
I do appreciate your thought of limiting it to people who have used guns to commit crimes, but I still disagree, If they are that bad they should be shot on sight during commission of their crime, otherwise, once they have "payed their debt to society" they should have rights like anyone else. A gun law wont stop a criminal, it will prevent a law abiding citizen from excercising his right to self defense
I think jails and prisons should only harbor those who stay for life. The only way you get out is once you finally die or it's found out you didn't actually do it. If what you did doesn't warrant a permanent lock up, there's several other ways you can pay your debt to society.
There's no such thing as rehabilitation. You can no more get rid of my big breast perversion just because you lock me up.
