[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] The important clause in my statement being, ONCE THE SENTENCE HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT. True, some sentences are for life. Therefore the sentence will never be fully carried out. But the abridgement is still of a CRIMINAL in that case, not a ex-criminal, because the sentence has not been fully carried out, and never will, as you pointed out. What I am trying to say is that any criminal who has fully carried out his/her sentence, (i.e., shorter than life term with parole completed), has the right to bear arms restored to him. Unless another crimes has been committed after the fact, this right cannot be denied him/her. So, according to the current interpretation, (your own), of the 2nd amendment, you cannot legislate against ex-convicts who have FULLY carried out their sentences. "Hey you, you committed a manslaughter seven years ago, and even though you've done your time, we say you can't own a gun." That cannot happen according to your own interpretation because the ex-criminal has been "restored to society" shall we say. He is a full citizen, and it would be a horrible thing for his rights as an American citizen to be abridged. Heck, it would violate the 2nd amendment! [/QB][/QUOTE]
