Ok thanks for explaining that but you didn’t answer any of my questions
Only in a court of law can anyone's rights be removed.
If a person is adjudicated guilty of a felony, their right to possess a weapon and to vote, removed.
Same if they are adjudicated mentally incompetent.
That’s interesting... would you apply the same standard to the first amendment and remove all censorship regulations? Allow Max Strength Penis Enlargement LLC to toss up a billboard next to the local elementary school with their world famous Mandingo modeling his 13 inch python?
You fail to understand.....those regulations effect the public space .... carrying a gun effects no one unless you actually break the law.
The question is whether the government should be able to place regulations on our rights. You justify regulations on the first amendment for things that effect the public space. Others justify regulating the second amendment because they feel it helps safety and the general welfare of our citizens.
The public space is just that...public...we all have a Right to it but it can't be all at the same time...so we have to have some minor rules to deal with it.
Guns are not like that, I can carry my gun all day long and as long as I don't use it to commit a crime, you are not effected by it......
And just like the First Amendment....you can't be touched until you use it to violate the Rights of someone else....you can write anything you want, but if you commit libel, then you broke the law...up to that point...as the anti-gunners keep saying, you weren't a criminal till you broke that law..
What they and you want is to prevent people from writing, speaking and saying anything because you are afraid they will break the law with their speech.....that is what you are doing to the 2nd Amendment.
Others justify regulating the second amendment because they feel it helps safety and the general welfare of our citizens
We have those regulations......it is against the law...already, to use any gun to commit a crime......it is against the law to use a gun to threaten someone unlawfully....it is against the law for any felon to buy, own or carry any gun, at anytime.....if you do any of these things you can already be arrested
Those above cover everything we need to regulate guns. Anything else is simply your phobia about guns.
The problem you don't want to see because you simply hate guns, and want them banned, is that the problem isn't that we don't have regulations on guns....I just showed you a few of the 20,000 local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to guns.....
Our problem is that democrat politicians, judges and prosecutors keep letting out violent gun criminals after they have been arrested over and over again with illegal guns.....of the 10,982 gun murders committed in 2017 for example.....using the most recent mass public shooting number for 2018.....93 were killed by mass shooters........of the rest, the majority of those shooters were criminals shooting other criminals, most often when they were already on parole for other gun offenses......and often the first time offenders are 15,16, year old gang members using guns for crime....
So we don't have a gun problem, we don't have a gun regulation problem, we have a democrats letting known, repeat, violent gun offenders out of jail on bond, where they then shoot people, and out of prison on reduced sentences...often bargaining away the gun charge as if it is just inconsequential...
Japan has kept their criminals from using guns by having a life sentence for anyone who uses a gun in an actual crime......this is how you stop gun crime....not by targeting people who don't use their legal guns for crime...
But because you just want to attack guns.....you won't understand that actual criminals with guns are the issue....and if you make the actual punishment steep...like Japan does, then gun crime will go down, and you don't have to do anything else......
Now that I have explained the actual problem and the actual solution...you can proceed to ignore the actual problem, the actual solution and just tell us we need to ban guns...

Ryo Fujiwara, long-time writer on yakuza affairs and author of the book, The Three Yamaguchi-Gumi, says that the punishment for using a gun in a gang war or in a crime is now so heavy that most yakuza avoid their use at all – unless it is for an assassination.
“In a hit, whoever fires the gun, or is made to take responsibility for firing the gun, has to pretty much be willing to go to jail for the rest of their life. That’s a big decision. The repercussions are big, too. No one wants to claim responsibility for such acts – the gang office might actually get shut-down.”
The gang typically also has to support the family of the hit-man while he is in prison, which is also a financial burden for the organization.
Japan’s Firearms and Swords Control Laws make it a crime to illegally possess a gun, with a punishment of jail time of up to 10 years.
Illegal possession more than one gun, the penalty goes up to 15 years in prison. If you own a gun and matching ammunition, that’s another charge and a heavier penalty. The most severe penalty is for the act of discharging a gun in a train, on a bus, or most public spaces, which can result in a life sentence.

A low-ranking member of the Kobe-Yamaguchi-gumi put it this way: “All of the smart guys got rid of their guns a long-time ago. The penalties are way too high. You get life in prison if you just fire a gun. That’s not fun.”
