So violent felons should be allowed to legally purchase weapons? Previously violent. Nothing indicates they are violent after they've "paid their debt to society". You know, prison terms and not being on paper. Talk to a probation agent, their position is that you're dangerous until you're off paper. Then your magically not dangerous. If rights are granted by a creator, how is it possible man is capable of denying those rights? Every person possesses an inherent right of self-defense, even felons. You want Bin al Saleem Hadji Mohamed here in the country on a student VISA from Yemen to be sporting an AR-15? If he's so dangerous why issue him a student Visa in the first place? Jose Juan Jesus Rodriquez who swam across the Rio Grande with a fistful of dollars to be able to goto a Texas gun show and load up and arm his Mehican drug cartel buds? Would this occur without government intervention, i.e., War on Drugs? Do you find it acceptable for the US government to run guns around the world to prop up revolutionaries and governments? If we're gonna support freedom and liberty, we have to support it across the board. A nutjob who has proven to be a danger to himself and others gets to arm up? If he has proven himself to be a nutjob than why wasn't he committed? Most of these mass shooters were probably nutjobs, but displayed normacly until they decided to shoot up the joint. Seems to me you could advocate for a complete gun ban based upon "what if".
