I've changed my mind about the Second Amendment

Pursuit of happiness?

Nope, opening a daycare isn't a protected right. Bearing arms is.

Void where prohibited by law.

So because politicians declare an act to be a felony, people who commit such acts lose their citizenship?

Do all of the newly created felons in connecticut deserve to lose all of their constitutionally protected rights because a politician declared assault weapons to be illegal unless registered?

So how can you agree with putting anyone in prison? That restricts far more rights than just the 2nd and it's based.off of what a politician considers a felony. As scary as it sounds, sometimes people forfeit certain rights if they commit certain actions.

If they open a daycare as part of a church then I believe it could, in theory, be protected by the 1st, eh?

Or could they at least lead the nursery in church? Or maybe be alone with a group of kids to teach a sunday school class?

The Constitution states only one command twice. The Fifth Amendment says to the federal government that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, uses the same eleven words, called the Due Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states. These words have as their central promise an assurance that all levels of American government must operate within the law ("legality") and provide fair procedures. Most of this essay concerns that promise. We should briefly note, however, three other uses these words have had in American constitutional law.

And when you are released, and no longer "paying" for your crime, your rights should be intact. Unless they aren't rights at all. I view gun rights as being absolutely ESSENTIAL for the preservation of basic human rights. Without a personal right to bear arms, you can eventually be subject to abuse to which you have no recourse but to suffer. That is unacceptable in my book.

It is also unacceptable to deny all people once convicted of a felony their basic rights because there is a fear that some may return to criminal behavior. That sounds like the makings of a political virus that eventually destroys all of our rights--for the good of the collective.

Are there laws that prevent people convicted of pedophilia and subsequently released from prison from opening daycares? I dunno...maybe? I can't imagine that the specific act of opening a daycare is protected in any way, by any amendment.

That crap is crazier than trying to sell a CZ75 for $1000 bucks. Not even a drunkard would agree to such a stupid idea.

Come on, is equating the right to bear arms with ridiculous scenarios for former pedophiles opening daycares in churches really that crazy.
