It just seems we have different views on this subject.
From my opinion on this gun issue. If you have never chased a guy through the woods that just shot an killed his wife, or chasing a bank robber down an old railroad track in the middle of nowhere, then your opinion here will differ from my experience when you respond to a man with a gun call.
PS I do believe God is superior in every way, and fully have my faith and trust in him. I will not get into a pissing match on here on this.
I am certainly not looking to get into one, but before you lay claim to fame, make sure you know, or at least understand, what it is you are talking about and not slinging out something that you heard.
And yes this is a gun issue, so keep to it.
PS Just be wise and make sure you understand your God, his Word and keep that faith, because your sentences indicate some falsehoods to Christian philosophy.
Strange....they seem to have all the guns they want now.
If you want to own a gun, don't brake the law.
I do think that many crimes like buying a minor cigarettes or alcohol should not be a felony. Yes, it should be against the law. But, in my opinion, those don't qualify for for felonies only misdemeanors. If your arrested for a felony, you loose gun rights and hunting rights.
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is not a felony.
I'll publicly throw myself under the bus here. I HAD a felony on my record for a non-violent offense. I wanted nothing more than to have my rights as a lawful gun owner restored. I wrote letter after letter to the judge asking for a hearing to have my felony taken off my record. After many letters, I finally got a court date. I went before the judge, pleaded my case and told him the truth. I told him that I was a gun hunter and liked carrying a firearm for protection. He gave me a speech about second chances and how they dont come around very often. After we discussed the felony the judge asked the prosecutor if he has any objection. The prosecutor said he believed me and that he thought I deserved a second chance. The judge awarded me my rights back by expunging the felony. I am now a licensed gun owner and would never do anything to have those rights taken away again. Therefore I do believe that if you can turn your life around that you should be given back the right to own and carry firearms.Felons are felons.
When you commit a felony, you give up your rights... permanently.
Is there any way you can quote me the bible verse that God says man cannot be rehabilitated? I am just curious of the version you are reading from.
IC 35-46-1-8
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor
Sec. 8. (a) A person at least eighteen (18) years of age who knowingly or intentionally encourages, aids, induces, or causes a person less than eighteen (18) years of age to commit an act of delinquency (as defined by IC 31-37-1 or IC 31-37-2) commits contributing to delinquency, a Class A misdemeanor.
(b) However, the offense described in subsection (a) is a Class C felony:
(1) if:
(A) the person committing the offense is at least twenty-one (21) years of age and knowingly or intentionally furnishes:
(i) an alcoholic beverage to a person less than eighteen (18) years of age in violation of IC 7.1-5-7-8 when the person committing the offense knew or reasonably should have known that the person furnished the alcoholic beverage was less than eighteen (18) years of age; or
(ii) a controlled substance (as defined in IC 35-48-1-9) or a drug (as defined in IC 9-13-2-49.1) in violation of Indiana law; and
(B) the consumption, ingestion, or use of the alcoholic beverage, controlled substance, or drug is the proximate cause of the death of any person; or
(2) if the person committing the offense knowingly or intentionally encourages, aids, induces, or causes a person less than eighteen (18) years of age to commit an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult under any of the following:
I'm curious as to logic behind thinking that someone who is stupid and irresponsible enough to drive drunk is still thought to be smart and responsible enough to own a gun. It's kind of like giving a sword to a monkey that likes to hit its head on a rock repeatedly.
I am curious as to the logic of why Anyone should be deemed Safe to be in Society but yet deprived of their Right to defend themselves and their families...
I all for gun rights, but when someone has proven to be both a danger to himself and those around him, it's time for society to step in. And it's not depriving them of the ability to defend themselves, but it is removing an option that can get innocent people killed or worse through reckless behavior from someone with a proven track record of exactly that. lawful gun owners pride ourselves on being responsible, law abiding citizens.
If they are so damn dangerous why are they not still incarcerated or executed?!
The problem is Society has deemed these Peoples as being Safe to Release from confinement to live amongst us. If they are safe to live and work amongst us then why are their Rights being deprived?!
Never mind Bumpshadow you stay fixated on the alcohol and driving aspect. You may want to look and find out just how easily it is fo ryou to become a Felon though...
I think after someone has done time for a violent crime, they only have the 1 chance to straighten out.
After that, they lose it all.
There should be no repeat offenders.
