I'll see that and raise you with this...
Milwaukee mayor, police chief crack a code
Today in Milwaukee, Wis. – a city about the same size as Seattle – anti-gun Mayor Tom Barrett and Police Chief Edward Flynn appear to have cracked a code about homicide that some of their contemporaries out here in the Pacific Northwest just can't grasp.

It should never be a crime to possess a firearm by anyone.
What about convicted felons? I guess that should come down to what the felony was (armed robbery = no more guns for you; embezzling money from work with a computer = ok to own a gun), but I think there are some people out there who have proven that they should not be allowed to own a gun.
Think about this....
Ok, I read that over and I thought about it. You make some very good points I hadn't really thought about before, I think I might have to rethink my views on there. If you're rehabilitated, you're rehabilitated, you should get your rights back. If you aren't rehabilitated enough to get your rights back, then you probably aren't rehabilitated enough to be let out of prison in the first place. Only problem here is the revolving door issue with so many American prisons. So overpopulated that they let people out early just to make room for the next batch, regardless of if they've paid their debt to society or not.
...So what happens with "prohibited persons"? You have just created a second class of citizen that have been judged as having a life that is not worth protecting. The state is not required to protect them, and their ability to bear arms to protect themselves has been restricted.
Conclusion: If the person is so dangerous to society in general that he/she should not be allowed to protect himself/herself, then they should be incarcerated, or executed. Otherwise, their life is as valuable as any other, and their RIGHT to bear arms for their own self defense should not be restricted...
...I agree, the misuse of a firearm in a criminal act should be dealt with more stridently than the same act without the force of arms...but once the person is out of prison, the debt has been payed and they should be free members of society again...
And what is the overpopulation issue caused by?
We need to get this back to a government FOR the people, I'm just not sure how we can do that.
McAuliffe believes the real issue is not lowering gun crime. The real issue is giving people the illusion of safer cities by citing fewer guns
Sadly it's not just Democrats. Can anyone imagine a Romney presidency this winter NOT also see him doing exactly what Obama did? Same goes for Christie, REPUBLICAN Bloomberg, and many others.
I don't dispute that the Dems as a party are the party of gun control. But there are plenty of elitist Repubs that feel the same way as Feinstein.
It's all about control and lack of trust in Americans. Bottom line: They don't trust their citizens with guns. That's a stripe that runs conservative and liberal alike.
