As I've said numerous times before. The mere fact of being a criminal should remove any rights you used to have in my opinion. Being a whackjob is a different matter. How do you prove mental issues? I don't like the idea of whackjob's being armed. But then I don't like the idea of criminals being armed either. More than either issue thoug I dislike the idea of regular folk being disarmed by the facist state. However both of those issues are subsidiary to the basic intent of the founders of the nation and the essence of America as duly constituted, ie it is NOT a facist state and it does NOT have the authority to disarm it's ciitzenry.
