You cannot own a firearm as a felon. When you become a felon, you lose that right.
Then, that tells me you subscribe to rights being
inalienable (immunities and privileges) and not
unalienable which is inherent-
Let me point out a fact- self evident truths- we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and have certain
unalineble rights,
Endowed, by their Creator, among these are the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness- words mean things, or, they don't-
an online dictionary can be useful- for unalienable, endowed, inherent, or, just about any word you can think of- as I said, previously, the 14th amendment was ruled, by the courts, that
inalienable rights are privileges and immunities granted by being a citizen, or visitor, to the US-
So, if you believe that a right can be taken, then by default you believe the gov't has the authority you want it to- and, sadly, when you try to cherry pick what you like and want to be enFORCED, you have to suffer the consequences of what you don't want along with it- History of legislation (and court rulings) makes that abundantly clear- now, in the constitution, the power and or authority to grant rights is the power to take rights in the reverse action- i.e., laws to punish, take away tangibles, i.e., property (guns are property btw) etc. .
To wit: your arguring with me on this can be laid directly at the feet of IMproper education which is subscribed to by BOTH sides of the Duopoly Party,
because there is a difference between
inalienable and
unalienable- that hi-lites another constitutional authority over reach, Public Education, because no where is the authority, or power, granted to the District of Criminal members to do any such thing- yet, here we are arguing about a basic, as in, fundamental knowledge, which you refuse to accept, because you have been IMproperly educated- and your parents, their parents and people my age never objected be cause we stupidly placed a trust in the hands of *authority* figures- and, now, when the truth is presented, it is argued against- that, fellow citizen is what you're advocating for-
