More Gun Rights

[Carborendum]

LSB11108 (congress.gov)

Summary:

Federal law says that ANYone convicted of a crime which includes incarceration of upto 1 year is never allowed to possess a gun again.

The decision says that this is a violation of 2A.  Specifically, they said it should not apply to non-violent offenders whose crimes barely met the statute's requirements, but were not reasonably severe enough to warrant a denial of the 2A.

Regardless of the law, there will always be exceptions that are worthy of an argument.  Here is something I would suggest.  A repeat offender that has been convicted previously of a felony crime (pick a number between 1 and 3) with the use and intent to use lethal force that endangers or ends another’s life – is put to death after previouos convictions.  During the trial - previous convictions cannot be made known to the court nor for consideration for appeal.  I would favor the method of death punishment be by the same lethal force that was used with the crime but can accept whatever method a majority of our society can fathom as reasonable.

As a side note – I would rather execute one innocent individual than convince 99 guilty of murder that they can exist in our society without recourse – even if (especially if) the one innocent is me.
