It's illegal for a felon to own a firearm from my understanding. Thus it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for a felon to have a gun. PERIOD.

Remember, laws physically prevent actions.

The assertion by the BCPHGV is a trivial trick of rhetoric; make an unfounded universal statement, they cannot be proven false using common logic. 'All birds are white' requires that every bird be examined. If the statement is denied then they retort, "you missed such-and-so."


I would think to prove the statement about all birds are white, you need only find one bird that is not white. Why would you have to look at all birds? What am I missing?

As for the death-row inmatewith a CPL, one would only have to find one, to make true the statement that some death-row inmate's received a CPL. Yes, no?

Hmm, knowing how these cats roll. It was probably due to someone being convicted on bad evidence and then being vindicated by DNA at a later time. So if they were cleared and the record expunged. It could be true that they were indeed on death row and now are now free, including free to own a firearm. Kind of an old post but throwing my cents around.

Yes and yes.

You examine all birds, there are too many birds for me to examine. If I reported that I had examined all birds and found them white then their retort would be that I must have missed the one black one.

Similarly, "no felon has a CWP," "aww, you must missed one."

In neither case do they specify the one existing that meets their requirement, just suggest that one exists.

Exactly. Such assertions attempt to force us to prove a negative which is essentially impossible. This is why the burden of proof in fair, intelligent debate is upon the one making the assertion. Unfortunately, in the matter of 2A we are dealing with liberals and the MSM (I know, redundant) and therefore neither fair not intelligent is typically a part of their debating method.
