I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." – Thomas Jefferson <br /><br />Equal rights are between respecters of rights only. The rights of rights-respecters cannot be equal to those of past violators. In the case of guns, which could kill or maim many in a blink of an eye, it would be violating the rights of innocents to let people who have committed violent crimes own guns.<br /><br />It is JUST that the rights of those with no criminal history is not equal to those with violent criminal history.Ilyn Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361065075979697054noreply@blogger.com
