More gun control in the pipeline. . .

In my opinion, the line has already been crossed. Soap box failed, Ballot box failed. Jury box is next. With good fortune, we reset to soap box.

My benchmark is 2016. Another liberal POTUS and its all over.

ETA 2014 elections are probably the earliest indication of when its all lost.

Nah, hold their feet to the fire now. Confront your representatives respectfully. Hold them accountable.
We need to slam the door before they all get through it.

I'd like to hold more than their feet to the fire, hypothetically speaking of course.

Will you please explain to me why FELONS should be allowed to have weapons? Rapist, Sex offenders, etc. I'm having a hard time understanding your theory. Must criminals relapse to commit the same crimes. We need to enforce the laws that we have rather than make new ones!!

In many states, rape is one of the highest felonies and offenders who are released from custody are under lifetime court supervision . . . and even if they are in a state that limits parole and mandated counseling to 10 years after release, the sex offender registry would still count in the NCIC database.

Other lesser felonies include: possession of hollowpoint ammunition, possession of a single marijuana joint, having a digital camera running during a traffic stop.

Your post should clarify for Non-Violent Felons.
Getting tagged as a sexual offender because you're taking a piss @ 3am behind your car, does not warrant the baggage that comes with it.

Gang raping a 10yr old downs syndrome kid. I can reload cheaper than an appeal will cost the state AND not loose sleep over it.

Some states consider it a felony for bringing the wrong plant into the state...and I am not refering to any sort of drug plant. Even the wrong cactus can count. That should not be grounds to lose your firearm rights.

Old west come back? Tar and feathering? Lynch mobs? When will they get the message?

I have heard a few horror stories about guys taking a piss next to a dumpster in an alley behind a pub getting charged with "exposure" or "lewdness" and then being entered into the registry for that. It seems hard to believe that any prosecutor or judge would punish anyone in that way for such a thing. The registry was never intended for people caught pissing behind a pub at 0200. That shouldn't even BE a crime unless it was in the afternoon on Main Street in front of people.

When people are put on the registry for pissing behind a dumpster, you know what that does? It gives sex offenders an "excuse" for being on the registry when they try to get a job or housing. They can say, "Oh, not me . . . I was only pissing behind a dumpster and didn't do anything else" . . . and sometimes they are given the benefit of a doubt. That is bullshit. No-one should ever be put on that registry for taking a leak in an alley away from other people. Misusing the registry weakens it.

When they live in fear of us and not the other way around.
