That sounds so much like 'Should a known potential 'mass shooter' be carrying a firearm? No, probably not. Should that person be prohibited from doing so under law? No.
Why do you say that. Many of the " . . . shall not be infringed" crowd absolutely believe that Americans should be allowed to own ANY weapon they want (i.e. absolutely no restrictions allowed). You know this as well as I do and it can be seen in some of the comments on these very same forums.
I think anyone who is not a Constitutional absolutist should be banned from any weapons outside of kitchen knives and gardening tools. They have no business handling them.
They should. Don't words and thoughts in my mouth. I don't think what you think. If the GOV has it, we should have it. It's obvious you have no idea what the 2A is for.
Your 'wish' is happening, though slowly. My son whom lived in Oklahoma took a job in Massachusetts and was appalled by their restrictive gun laws. He told me that they didn't even have public gun ranges (indoor or outdoor).
Oh I know what the 2nd Amendment is about and for and thank God we have it because I don't trust our government any more than anyone else, maybe even less. I just don't have a whole lot of trust in many of my fellow citizens to own and handle certain kinds of weapons of mass destruction that so many desperately want to be able to have. I mean why do you think the military teaches and trains soldiers to use weapons instead of just handing them out and saying . . . 'have fun'. Because a lot of people are just plain idiots.
