14. your points are moot
Depending on what state you live in, felons cannot vote once they leave prison. If they can't be trusted with a vote, why should they be trusted with a gun?

And I repeat again, because they paid their debt to society. What race do a disproportional percentage of former felons belong to? Where do there felons come from and what walks of life do they come from?

Then you do whatever it takes to keep guns out of their hands. Even if it means everyone else has to fill out one more form or wait a little bit to get a gun.

This solution has NEVER worked and has made congress ballsy in what kind of legislation they pass, a good example of this is the overtime pay takeaway. Do you honestly think that Congress would take overtime pay away if everybody had a gun?

Not even close.

You are wrong. Go here:

Medical records may be one thing, but mental health records are something else entirely.

I don't care if you don't want your privacy protected but I will have my privacy respected in every circumstance. My privacy will be respected even if it means dying from no treatment. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND

"Ensuring the general welfare", however, is. And it's mandated by teh Constitution.

Ensuring the general rape is more like it.
