What do you think is Constitutional?

Gary:
I tend to trust people with a track record of straight and narrow.   

I would not hire someone with a history of embezzlement convictions to handle making cash reciepts into my bank account.

I dont think someone with a history of drinking and driving and DWI convictions should be given a bottle of whiskey and the keys to a car, expecting he will be better in the future.

Should someone with felony convictions be allowed to walk into a gun store and purchase firearms?   There is something about that, sounds aberrant to me. 

Mntnman:
The point being that they should not be denied their rights based on our oppinions. Making it illegal for them to own a gun will not stop them if they want one anyway. Laws do not stop criminals, we all can agree on that!

farmerbob:
I have been caught doing something that's not socially acceptable, that's right I like to put my cake in a bowl and pore milk over it. I no longer do this in public because of the looks I get. I could be banned from cake all together.

Mntnman:
I would appreciate it if we don't spam up the thread. Thanks.

landon410:
you'd have to have a pretty darn good reason for taking someones rights away for ever.
I am also in the line of thinking that if you have "paid your debt" then you have paid your debt.

My views on the world are pretty messed up, I am first and foremost a Christian, politically I am a mix between fiscal conservative and social libertarian. I don't think we should spend money on welfare, I do not find it to be constituional and I could write an essay on that if I wanted to get into my whole thing. We also should have no say on what people do/want to do in their own life.
You want to do gross things with another dude, thats nasty but I don't care.

You want to remove someone's rights  you better have a damn good reason that goes beyong any question, there better be no grey area. We know we have the RIGHT to bear arms, there is no caveat saying "except full auto" or "except standard capacity mags" etc, so in my views and using contra proferentem as a back up, I think any and all laws that make it harder for me to get anything arms related is unconstitutional. Cost should be the only factor that determines what I own and use.

I'll conclude by saying though I am socially a libertarian I have to balance those views with what controls my life/soul/mind/heart, and in that I could never vote for or allow anything against my faith because I have to level my thoughts and life with my faith.
