plus if you have any previous crimes (not just felonies) NO GUN for you!
The penalties for violation of the above should be draconian!
Jail time manditory!
Commit a crime with a gun and it's life in prison!
This will stop the average criminal cold.

This is why the authors of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights wrote the 2nd amendment. We now have generations of people with little knowledge or understanding, and therefore, little respect for the importance of individual rights, among those rights, the God given right to self protection. We have people, who should know better, actually equate the right to self protection with driving a car, or going to Disney World, and actually ignoring the 2nd A wording of "shall not be infringed". We live in a society that willingly gives up personal freedoms such as right to privacy, to bear arms, free speech, freedom of religion, for what? Safety, or at least a "feeling" of safety. This is the new America, where everyone gets a trophy, and the masses want the government to provide cradle to grave care. But guess what? These people that want to take everyone's guns will be begging for someone to rescue them when they are about to become a victim of some predator. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
