A warning to those that comment on this topic... The poll thread has been locked. This thread has been fine, but I will not allow controversial topics to degrade into verbal attacks.

--- Quote from: DJPeter on August 28, 2009, 10:31:08 AM ---Part of the problem is that as a society matures, it tends to creates overlapping laws and regulations that crowds the average citizen into the gray areas of potentially becoming a criminal. Leaders are inclined to make and pass legislation to modify our Rights (to own and use firearms) for the benefit of all. This progressive limitation of individual rights is why I would lean toward developing a system that would enable felons to regain their productive rights back. Including the Right to Bear Arms. All of course within reason. Thankfully our Forefathers wrote the Constitution to protect our basic rights. That is if we continue to exercise our rights.

Good response, DJ. One point you made that I am hesitant about supporting is a "system" of restoring rights. I take a pessimistic view in this regard and feel the .gov is more likely to make the process onerous in some way or another. It might be complicated enough to require a lawyer, incredibly expensive, or be open to arbitrary and capricious behavior by the decision makers.
Roper:
uh, Dan - I don't get your preaching/warning on this one????
Roper:
Dan - disregard my last post, I saw the comments posted with the poll; I understand where you are coming from.
