Perhaps we should suggest lowering the standard down to ever having had a speeding/parking ticket, and include along with disallowing of firearms, the right to govt employment, including elected office?
makes as much sense to me.
Anyone remember the section in the 94 AWB allowing seizure of assets for people suspected of certain crimes? Not even requiring an arrest, let alone a conviction! I believe that section got the axe before the bill was passed, but it was part of the proposed package.
What we have here, is some of the same people, trying yet again to do the same thing to us, still using our safety as their justification.
This is even more disturbing and ridiculous than the Lautenberg Amendment, which removes rights (for ever) for a "domestic violence" misdemeanor conviction, ever, not just following the passage of the law, but ever. This trend in laws being proposed is repugnant! One has absolutely NO CONTROL over being arrested. NONE. You don't have to be breaking any law, or even skirting one. Even trying to explain your side of things to a police officer when they don't want to hear it can get you arrested. It is entirely up to the decision of the officer. Period.
Most of the time, arrests without good basis get tossed. But you still got arrested. Even proposing a law that would deny constitutionally protected rights simply because decades ago a cop had a bad day and you were involved, through no fault or choice of your own? How sad is that?
Why is it these people not only get elected, but get re-elected? That's a sad commentary on the intelligence of their constituents, or their greed and gullibility.
