Martha Stewart was convicted of 4 felonies. She can't own or possess a firearm and no one that works for her or takes directions from her can be armed when they are with her. Is she a danger to society? Why does she lose the right to be armed or to defend herself?
When people think of felons they think of murders, rapists and carjackers. My whole point is there are a lot of other felons that are generally peaceful who have a right taken away. I've had this discussion with many NRA members and they proclaim the right to defend themselves and the right to gun ownership and they get very worked up why talking about politicians who want to take that right away. Yet are perfectly fine with taking away that right from felons for life. Or they don't speak up for the rights of others as it is an unpopular position. It's a double standard to say the least.
