"Let's fix the problem by adding a list of offenses" is the mantra of Rep. Kevin Austin, R-Springfield.
Unfortunately, it appears that Mr. Austin's proposed legislation, HB 1220, would create new and unending problems when listing what is to be considered a "violent felon" under state law. There happens to be a perfectly good definition available from a federal court already. |

The disability of Second Amendment rights should hinge on one element, and one element only: convictions for crimes of violence.
Anything else isn't, well, "reasonable". |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
