Sorry, I started ranting, just imagine a rabid dog foaming at the mouth barking it's head off, oops, ouch.
So was it unto me.
"Just a ramblin' (ramblin' man) ..."
****ing Napster doesn't like me playing albums all day on my old computer for my ten dollars, I got to dial up every album thanks to their so-called upgrades.

They think the tax cut will stimulate so much that it'll cover the loss in revenue, but it never does, and it's depression instead.
Simply, if you give more money to people who only spend it to extract more money from the economy, often to the destruction of competitors, this cannot work.
I heard off the floor today, "Why would we repeal the tax cut that is responsible for the greatest economy in History?"
Obama had it running nice, and then they floored it, sure, your RPMs are going to be off the charts.

if we're gonna have the 2nd, and people do their time for non-violent stuff, then i don't see why they can't own a gun like virtually all other Americans.
Well, at least some states make their own decisions and enable it. Maybe thru positive reinforcement (no re-offenses) more states will get on board.
Does anyone know if a felon, after serving his/her sentence denied restoration of 2A rights then moves to another state that allows it...can/would that state reinstate their 2A rights?
If enough people do want it, that's what they get.
Democracy.
And lets not pretend the republicans haven't been pushing for a "permanent conservative majority" for decades. Which would be a one party dictatorship, by definition.
A power vacuum exists when a government and its apparatus, is rapidly destroyed/withdrawn
The people have no control in their lives and society rapidly breaks down into anarchy
You get this in a riot
Another example is when the police of Montreal, suddenly went on strike in 1969:
As we saw, there was no non-compliance
Iraq had no WMD
Saddam was a POS, but he represented order. Bush Jr was hell bent on righting a perceived defeat of his father...after the 1990-91 Gulf War, Bush Sr lost office, while Saddam remained in power
Not too many presidents win a war so overwhelmingly and get voted out of office the next year
Invading Iraq was a REALLY bad idea
The invasion of Iraq was a huge mistake, as was the invasion of Afghanistan
Ask yourself what the cost has been, ask yourself what benefits we have got - if any

A clearer headed man might want to know where the quickest exit was and where the closest hospital is
Winning the Gulf War was essential. But that should have been it.

I agree with your sentiment. I have advocated all my life for the principle of commit a crime, do the time, return to full citizenship status.
IMO if a person convicted of a crime has no hope of return to full citizenship without stigma after release, then they have a motive (if not a compulsion) for continued criminality.
To break the cycle there must be a road to complete redemption. It does not have to be an easy road, but it should be one that commitment can achieve.
As for their avoidance of cases on gun rights? IMO the radical Democrats have them truly fearful of possible Court packing, especially in this volatile, nearly lawless social landscape we see playing out around the nation.
The most glaring example of what you said is the lack of voting rights for felons who have completed their sentences. It's funny that there is such a fuss about letting more more people buy guns while the same people support keeping freed criminals 2nd class citizens by denying their right to vote. It is hypocritical to say the least.
Nowhere near enough cause for a multi-billion dollar waste of money vanity war....so we've toppled a dictator and destabilized the region in the process

The Supreme Court has failed to do it's duty to restore the rights of our citizens after they have served their time. In this case, it's non-violent felony charges that have caused a lifetime ban on gun ownership. I'm against the permanent disenfranchisement of our citizenry. This also will disproportionately effect minorities. I personally feel that no matter what the time was, if you get released for "serving your time" then you should have everything restored back to you. There shouldn't even be a felony status, imo, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.
The SCOTUS failed here. Just to get a taste of the things that could result in your permanent loss of 2A rights, see below:
The Supreme Court declined to hear three Second Amendment cases challenging a federal ban on gun ownership for people convicted of nonviolent crimes.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up three challenges to a federal ban on gun ownership for people convicted of nonviolent crimes, disappointing Second Amendment advocates who hoped a more conservative court would begin to chip away at the restriction.
By not taking the appeals, the nation's highest court let stand a series of lower court rulings that prohibited people convicted of driving under the influence, making false statements on tax returns and selling counterfeit cassette tapes from owning a gun.
