Why are supposedly pro-RKBA politicians saying things like "We all agree that [currently forbidden classes of persons] should not have guns." when this is not only not true, but highly absurd? If someone is a danger, that person should (in the case of a conviction) been given a longer sentence to allow more time for rehabilitation (or kept in prison for life), or, in the case of alleged mental illness, been placed in an institution after due process. Anyone who is not in custody (either prison or an insane asylum) should be free to own any sort of gun that he or she can afford. To strip someone of the most effective means of self-defense is a de facto death sentence if an individual finds himself in the wrong situation through no fault of his/her own.
