[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]By the strict definition of the Constitution, the rights of the citizen to own and bare a weapon cannot be infringed, yet the citizen who commits a crime and serves his time, after release, has that right infringed upon.[/i] But NOT if that infringement was an integral PART of his sentence. You can have your property rights removed as part of your sentence, and you can have your right to free association removed as part of your sentence, and you can have your right to freedom of movement removed as part of your sentence. Why make an exception for the right to own and carry a gun? [i]I still have objection to your view of the Constitution and how it applies to the Second Ammendment. I don't belief it's a realistic (in view of contemporary law) way of looking at the situation[/i] Oh, so in other words, screw what the Constitution says, and just do whatever works? That's called facism, IIRC, and as a general rule, it doesn't work. See, whether you personally like it or not doesn't really matter. What I'm describing is what the Constitution says, and is thus law. Jay: [i]the Constiution gives Congress the right to regulate the militia and offers no guarantee to the ownership of firearms without an express connection with said militia[/i] What part of "shall not be infringed" did you not understand? As in, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Sounds like a guarentee of the right to own firearms to me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
