But liberals don't want to do that. Liberals are actually quite lenient (usually) with criminals who get caught with/use guns.
Who determines who isn't supposed to have a firearm? The government?

Imagine President Socialist Barbie deciding all non-leftists are criminals and are banned from owning guns.

Once again, a so-called “conservative” fails to understand that gun ownership is an inalienable natural right and can not be infringed for any reason. Period.

No.
You are not asking a question; you are making a statement. Your intent is to promote an idea which would make people reluctant to own firearms, thereby reducing eh number of firearms in public hands.
Fail.

Ca reversed recent laws that did put felons in jail for stealing firearms and using them in crimes.

Excellent point.

Jail is for purposeful harm, and theft.
Restitution pays for the loss, even if it means taking everything you got and will ever have.


We use to have places for the mentally insane.... Now, we have to modify personal freedoms & liberties in a supposed free society, to accommodate the crazy people that roam the streets today.

If a convicted criminal can't be trusted to handle a gun in society, why are they in society in the first place?

Probably because of liberal judges.

His point is that if the convict is still a danger to society, they shouldn't be released back into society. If they're not a danger to society, there's no logical reason to restrict their rights. I don't lose sleep worrying whether Martha Stewart has a pistol in her nightstand.

Serve your time and when done, you get your rights back. If society thinks you are still a threat then you don't get out.

Let me rephrase your statement:
Someone's right to own a gun doesn't supersede someone else's right to be paranoid, irrational, and silly over something that doesn't endanger them.

....more accurately describes what you are trying to do.

You need to pick your comments a little better.

I see. You are basing your reaction to other people owning guns, on lies, made-up accusations, and baseless insults.

Thanks, that explains your paranoid attitude.
