I wouldn’t go that far. I don’t think wife beater or non-citizens should have guns. The constitution applies to American citizens who aren’t criminals. I’m happy with that construct.

What you think, and what the constitution says, are two different things. The Lautenberg Amendment which made firearms possession after a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction illegal should clearly be struck down as unconstitutional. A misdemeanor should not prevent someone from exercising their second amendment rights. If the crime is serious enough to deny someone's rights then it should be made a felony.

So clearly you’re juxtaposing what I “think” against what you “think”. How many women are beaten by their lover who is arrested/detained/etc…. who is then released, only to be killed by their aggressor. It happens all the time. Defending yourself is one thing, but any man who beats his woman is a punk not worthy of possessing a firearm.
