What do you think is Constitutional?

What legal restrictions on firearms do YOU believe pass Constitutional muster?
Let's see where we stand, shall we?

In my view, the only persons that should not be allowed to possess firearms(or other weapons) for self defense should be those who are under indictment, are currenly incarcerated, on house arrest, or those on probation.
After all, if someone has "served their time", shouldn't they be considered free citizens once again?

"Shall not be infringed"=no legal restrictions

The big assumption there is that anyone actually serve their time anymore. Nebraska apparently cannot even calculate the time served correctly. Then factor in the rate of recidivism for certain crimes/criminals and I have never really lost any sleep over restrictions prohibiting felons from owning arms or voting.

Rick has it figured out! A guy has a felony theft charge or a drug charge that happened when he was a teenager......& he is FOREVER FORBIDDEN to protect himself & his family in the same way that we all deem necessary? Our zero tolerance one size fits all policy on that is B.S.....
Other than that....I think mag restrictions, bans on weapons based on appearance, city/state registrations, or 'may issue' permits are all infringements!
Based on my interpretation..... Omaha & Lincoln are For Sure violating not only the 2nd Amendment but the Nebraska Constitution with their registration schemes & other shenanigans!
No offense to anyone living In either town, but when we start looking to move in the next year or so....I would never consider moving from the outskirts of Omaha into the city limits in a million years...! & I was born & raised in Omaha....guess I'm just a city boy who became a libertarian & now I don't want to be able to see my neighbors house!
