It would also appear that our legal system has more felonies that one can commit than misdemeanors which I find quite funny being that once a felon your constitutional rights (WHICH YOU WERE BORN WITH) are no more? This is quite the contradiction of what is legally written and sealed in blood and ink by our founding fathers and patriots alike.
Yet if half of you on this same forum actually believed in or quite frankly understood the Const. then you would have to swallow your discomfort about time served discharged felons owning guns.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" -Quite frankly I cant see past SHALL NOT as meaning anything else. A bad person will kill you, not necessarily a discharged time served felon. A good person will probably NOT kill you regardless of felony or not. The gun doesnt kill you. Bad people do regardless. Stop trying to dictate my life and others felon or not with your emotions.
Argue against this point!
We all know all the folks in prison are innocent (just ask them), but, rest assurely, the overwhelming majority are bad people.
Sorry, but the people of Louisiana cannot define the enforcement of a federal constitutional right nor could they ban enforcement of any federal constitutional right. They can speak to enforcement of a Louisiana state constitutional right.
