[QUOTE="fiscally_irresponsible, post: 4326186, member: 57557"] Constitutional rights should never ever be infringed, as a member of the 2A community you should understand this. Constitutional rights apply to [B][I]all [/I][/B]US citizens. If they choose to get clean that is their decision, if not they will suffer one of the 2 universal consequences, prison or death. [B][SIZE=5]It is their right to choose.[/SIZE][/B] Advocating for the suppression of a US citizen's rights (without there being just cause to do so.
