Felons owning guns has been an issue I've flip-flopped on the most in my life, I think. 2nd Amendment, as you said, very clearly says **SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.** It does not say "shall not be infringed, unless the individual is deemed to be a danger to society". It says "shall not be infringed". The men who wrote this spent *weeks*, who knows how many thousands of man-hours debating and working out the precise way to word these amendments so that future generations couldn't possibly confuse it. And that's what they arrived at- "shall not be infringed". No caveats. Right now, I'm leaning towards "let felons have guns, they'll end up getting killed by a law-abiding citizen or police officer sooner rather than later." If *everyone* had guns, there would no doubt be some terrible murders.. but I think there would be *more* self-defense homicides. I think shitheads with guns would go extinct in a matter of years. Instead, we take shitheads with guns and put them in prison for a little while. Then they come out, obtain guns/drugs again, and usually end up back in prison again. Rinse and repeat. If they were instead *killed* during their felony, this is a tremendous relief valve on the prison system. Slightly unrelated tangent- who else thinks it should be like this: If you kill a burglar (or some other assailant, any person who attacks you or someone else, or your property), you should be entitled to *everything* that fucker owned. Any assets he had in life should be given to you, as you have been victimized and forced to kill someone. This would exclude their debts, of course- that would fall onto their family. A system like this could be abused... but it could also be a MASSIVE deterrent. If Tyrone knows that getting caught robbing a liquor store will get his shitty car seized and given to the store owner, maybe they'll think twice? Ah, who am I kidding, most niggers can't be bothered to think *once.*
