I guess this proves that the 2nd amendment doesn't have the teeth that many of you think.

I'm not sure your point here. I can guess at it and there is likely no one that will argue that the Constitution doesn't provide for a way for rights to be removed from the individual through due process.

Obviously people are put in jail every single day.

Commit a felony and you lose more than just 2A rights.

Bit of a deceptive thread title. The man in question is a criminal and I doubt many will argue he shouldn't be banned from owning firearms.

I didn't understand the original posters point either about the guy who shot the wolves and got some sort of lifetime ban??? The more important issue at hand with this whole gun thing is being sure that the guns that are out there don't belong to lunatics like the guy who shot and killed 26 people, 20 of the first graders in Newtown. That for me made me a permanent gun hater...sorry...but there has got to be a way to screen folks who want guns or who have people living with them who are nuts enough to do what he did.
I will never, not ever feel the same about guns again second amendment or not...by the way, I live a stone's throw from Newtown and those people will never recover from this blood shed.
A lifetime ban for shooting wolves....don't get it either.

To be honest, after reading the article I thought maybe the court overstepped. Yes the man helped to cover up the crime but he didn't actually kill the wolves with his guns. The other guy ran them over on purpose. what a bunch of idiots.

Nobody would deny you your right of opinion on guns either.

He didn't lose his rights to own a gun for killing wolves. He lost them because of committing a felony. Perhaps there was no need for the judge to rub it in but it seems he was properly convicted.

He's losing his rights to liberty also, at least for awhile.

Interesting. What is an "endangered species" in one State, is a pest in another State.
