Good question. Since anyone who claims Hinkley is "OK" now, would that mean he now has the right to own a firearm? Even if you cure a drunk driver with multiple DUIs ,is it wrong to permanently ban them from driving, even if you let them out of prison?
Even outside Hinkley, our nations laws let people get out of jail/prison only to go back to repeating the same things that got them there in the first place.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am not a Trumpster, I am not a "lock them up and throw away the key". But I do think process counts, and I don't think it is either/or.
Should a six year old be allowed to own a firearm? Or should we just lock them up? What outrageous logic.
Many states don't allow felons to own firearms, but allow them to be free.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
