We Must Consider The Intent Of Our Founders....
It, appears as, evident that the Federal Government feels it has not only the Right but the duty to perform 'Background' checks on prospective purchasers of Firearms. It is quite apparent that our Founders desired that Firearms be in "safe and sane" hands. That the Federal Government assures that a citizen is indeed capable of possessing a firearm is a matter of Ensuring Domestic Tranquility, it can be reasoned.
It is also readily apparent that we all make mistakes, whether in thought, word or deed. Those that have at one time offended and transgressed the law should have the ability to return to the 'safe and sane' status after a reasonable period of time. Depending of course on the severity of the offense committed. And their 'track record' since the time in which the offense occurred. That is fair and reasonable Justice. There are some citizens that should NEVER be allowed possession of a Firearm. Those that have ever caused intentionally grievous criminal harm to another for instance. Although 'crimes of passion' must be carefully weighed in the balances of Justice. For we are dealing with the most base of human emotion. Jealousy is a natural human emotion and is for the most part unavoidable in certain cases. For even God is jealous and desires our total loyalty and fidelity. It is my assertion that the aforementioned is right, just and within the 'Intent of the U.S. Constitution'.
What is not right, just or within the Intent of the U.S. Constitution are those that conspire to subvert it. Whether the conspiracy comes from the Government or Private sector. The people that lobby for Gun Control are indeed making the attempt to subvert the original intent of the Founders when it was written. And the Bill of Rights has been judicially affirmed on a number of occasions. Which makes the attempts at subverting it all that much more intolerable. There should be provision to address this grievance and to have criminal charges brought against those attacking their fellow citizens rights. It is a matter that is beyond contention. For we are Constitutionally assured of the Rights given under it.
