38. Once a person steps over the line and becomes a criminal "rights" are lost, stepping

Over the line was a choice made not by the public but by the person doing the crime. Why would we want the criminals, terrorist and mentally unstable to have weapons? Because they may infringe on the rights of the general public to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. If you are not in these categories then you will have the right to purchase weapons. This bull about not being able to enforce the laws, even NRA says we should enforce the current laws. I know, they change their minds frequently so what is new. There are speed limits and rules of the road, licenses, inspections and requirements for insurance and the roads are full. There are no fly list and the US continues to survive. This is a 90/10 issue, it is sensible and reasonable, has the refusal of a business to sell guns to someone prevented deaths, yes it has, I still have a daughter and grandson to prove this.
