Gun Control & RKBA

...the OP argues for disenfranchisement.

Your brain fart into JT Ready land is just another example for your failure to remain on the topic of the OP. Your use of the present tense in your reference to him is inaccurate and distracting from whatever you were trying to convey. As far as trusting him with guns, yeah I trust him completely. He's dead and can't hurt anyone unless dropped sufficient height onto them. He can't buy, steal or borrow a gun nor pull a trigger nor can he vote. This reply of yours predates your voting thread-jack so I infer you don't care about his voting rights.

I don't think much of your efforts to CONTROL what I say or how I choose to say it but I'm sure that few in this group are surprised. Some pro-control folks have a long history of reading their desires into (and out of) things they read so as to conform to pro-control thinking.

Since the people (of "We the People" fame) ARE trusted with voting, they ought as well, barring some type of due process, to be able to own weapons, that would include firearms.

AFAIK all states and the federal system restrict weapons from inmates. This is a consequence of conviction and sentencing. Our prisons are constructs of our government here as are prisons everywhere. Those rights and freedoms, which are restricted by their sentencing explicitly or by the conditions of their confinement, do in all respects remain the rights of all of the people. It is within government's authority to restrict a right in those circumstances. The restriction is tied to the individual, his crime and sentence. His right persists but the is superseded by the restriction(s) imposed. I am against the removal of rights unless the courts fix a sentence in accordance with the legislature's existing law that requires it. I am of the opinion that when a sentence is completed, all restrictions should be removed. I don't feel most non-violent criminals should be jailed nor should their rights to voting, speech, firearms, religion... be suspended or restricted.

The fact that you don't, can't, refuse to... get it (the OP's meaning) amuses me. Carry on.
