(6 posts)Permanently deny gun ownership rights to anyone convicted of a violent crime of any kind, and penalize violations severely.
apply to the first amendment equally, subversive content = must revoke all publishing ( both private, and public as in print media.) privileges. this content to be determined by sitting government.
On the gun front, mandate gun security measures for all gun owners (to reduce that method by which criminals arm themselves)
Must apply across the board, if you car is stolen and then used in a criminal manner - you will share some degree of responsibility.

deny the vote to any convicted of the same crimes, after all, a violent crime of any kind should require the revocation of basic civil liberties.
I would even be open to modifying the Second Amendment to provide for (must issue) licensing that incorporated annual demonstration of competence (like cops are required to do). Make firearms ownership something people have to take seriously.
all reporters/journalists must show that they have had training in the use of a typewriter, wait that's outdated - our founders could not have envisioned the modern computer. they must also be licensed, screened and wait 3 days before taking possession of their new laptop.
get real - we live in a dangerous world and we must take responsibility for our own well being.
