The problem with that line of thinking gets us into the same trouble we're in. If you think that it's o.k. to strip people who commit domestic violence crimes of their 'rights', then it gives credibility to those that want to take it a step further. Why strip felons of their gun rights? To prevent future crimes of course. So a logical step would be that it's o.k. to strip everyone of their gun rights to prevent all sorts of future crimes. This is the line of thinking of all of the liberal nut jobs that want to erase the 2nd amendment. Slippery slope argument.

It's a double standard to allow society to limit the rights of certain individuals on one hand and on the other cry foul when liberals want to take away our "God-given rights" of gun ownership. Don't felons have the right to protect themselves too?
