Nah, to the world. You're a liar, a hypocrite, and a dried up old prunetwat. Your creepy little existence is of no value to ANYONE. Oh, and I'm not your "dear", prunetwat. Scum like you has no place in my world.

If she truly was as religious, as she claims, she would know what turn the other cheek means and just stop answering your posts. That fact that she doesn't, just reinforces what you've been saying. Apparently, she hasn't noticed that no one stops by to "Give an Amen" because we can all see that her holier-than-thou platitudes are just an act.

Oh and certainly this little thread, tucked away on a forum, in a forum...is THE WORLD...to YOU! IF I have no place in YOUR world, then leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. Cool?

"Narrow mind set" = believing in obeying the law and dealing with the consequences if you choose to break said law, right? I'm not concerned with heaven, which is nothing more than a stupid fantasy fed to gullible people by churches who want your money. I'd rather pay taxes to keep the animals locked up (like the FILTH who killed NY firefighters on Christmas Eve, who was RELEASED from prison when he should have been hung) than give it to a corrupt church to pay their pedophile clergy. Forgiving has nothing to do with criminals being appropriately punished. Losing the ability to vote and to have a weapon is a small price to pay for being stupid and arrogant enough to commit a felony. Now run along, your parole officer is looking for you.

<quoted text> I think you are a joke Red Baron, How can you say felons are the only ones that hurt innocent people? What about the college shootings? they were not comitted by felons. There are just as many non felony hate crimes commited by people that have nothing on their record. I am a long time hunter, gun collector, and permit holder until I was convicted of a felony from my business because I didnt keep the money from the house contract into an escrow account, I am an avarage tax paying citizen just like you and yet I cannot enjoy the outdoors and hunt in peace anymore because of a silly mistake, I agree felons should never be granted a conceled permit or even be allowed to purchase a hand gun, But a riffle to hunt in the woods is a different story. Not all felons are bad, most are but not all, There should be a through process to reinstate right to bear arms!

Coyote-red baron you are not very bright.If an exfelon gets his rights for firearms reinstated (most of them) would be thankful & not return to crime.Secondly,if he cant get a second oppritunity by reinstatement that will only cause him to consider buying one from the streets which only continues to fuel the circle of crime.Not to mention not being able to provide safety for himself & his family.Between now & the next ten years every American in this country is gonna wish they had a gun.Your quick to point out the census of exfelons that are repeaters with firearms but slow to share the excons that have been reinstated that abided by the law.Everyone deserves a second chance.But guys like you that think your so perfect & without flaw always feel your better than everyone else.You would find more joy in your life if you would lose the ego that youve manifested thru your cheap pride youve attained from being able to own & exercise your guns & their rights.Its guys like you that shouldnt have guns.And after 18 yrs of abiding by the law I finally got reinstated for a concealed permit which is necessary for my practice as a private detective helping improve other peoples lives.And what you wrote probably isnt your real opinion.But because of the company you keep youve adopted their personal opinions on ex felons like me.Have a great day...

Are you saying that anybody who makes a mistake are doom to be unforgiven forever and have others things stripped away? I Agree to certain crimes that option to hold a firearm is out of the question but what if its your first time in trouble and you get the book thrown at you now what? If the state nor the feds cant forgive you for your pass miss deeds then why bother following the law? Everybody is intitle to that one major F'up nobody should be punish for the rest of their lives. Unless its dealing with murder or rape.

what a bunch of hypocrites you all are.You were just lucky not to have gotten caught when YOU were commiting a felony- you would be surprised what some felonies are , that you have commited several times - your no angels

You're right felons are not angels their human. And as humans we mess up a lot don't think for one second that you are pure as the driven snow buddy. You have did a little dirt too in the past too you just didn't get caught yet

Felons are supposed to own guns with the serial# filed off and taped up grips, doesn't that guy know anything?

WOW!! What a heated argument this is....I agree with you. If felons do not regain the right to own guns, they are going to find a way to get them. Many guns that the felons obtain are from the "Underground" world. After all, it has been proven many times that the felons that have shot someone, took someone against their will, and robbed someone, etc...The biggest majority of these felons used a gun that has been tampered with, such as "glenn" stated. Not only do they file the serial numbers off and tape the grips. They will also do something called "Rifling a barrel." My opinion is this, and some of you many disagree, but we are all entitled to our own opinions on ANY subject. I believe that a felon that has used a gun to commit his/her act of violence should never legally own a gun again. There is very little law enforcement can do to stop the sale of the "Underworld" guns, as we ALL have seen in the past. It's a war between good and evil that I feel will never end. Yes, some will be caught, but many will not be. It's very unfortunate for those that are good law abiding citizens. None of us are perfect, but I can say I have never done anything that would be considered a felony and there are many other people that have done nothing either to be considered a felon. I am only saying this because someone posted that everyone has committed a felony and basically got lucky and did not get caught. I beg to differ on that comment.

On a lighter note: I hope each and everyone of you have a great day!!
