It is seemingly apparent that the Federal Government assumes it not only has the Right but the duty to perform 'Background' checks on prospective purchasers of Firearms. Which has some merit, for it is quite evident that our Founders desired that Firearms be in "safe and sane" hands. That the Federal Government assures that a citizen is indeed capable of possessing a firearm could be considered a matter of Ensuring Domestic Tranquility it can be reasoned.It is also readily apparent that we all make mistakes, whether in thought, word or deed. Those that have at one time offended and transgressed the law should have the ability to return to the 'safe and sane' status after a reasonable period of time. Depending of course on the severity of the offense committed. And their 'track record' since the time in which the offense occurred. That would seem to be fair and reasonable Justice.
There are some citizens that should NEVER be allowed possession of a Firearm. Those that have ever caused intentionally grievous criminal harm to another for instance. Although 'crimes of passion' must be carefully weighed in the balances of Justice. For we are dealing with the most base of human emotion. Jealousy is a natural human emotion and is for the most part unavoidable in certain cases. For even God is jealous and desires our total loyalty and fidelity. It is my assertion that the aforementioned is right, just and within the 'Intent of the U.S. Constitution'.
What is not right, just or within the Intent of the U.S. Constitution are those that conspire to subvert it. Whether the conspiracy comes from the Government or Private sector. The people that lobby for Gun Control are indeed making the attempt to subvert the original intent of the Founders when it was written. And the Bill of Rights has been judicially reaffirmed on a number of occasions. Which makes the attempts at subverting it all that much more intolerable.
There should be provision to address this grievance and to have criminal charges brought against those attacking their fellow citizens rights. It is a matter that is beyond contention. For we are Constitutionally assured of the Rights given under it!
Possible legal arguments can be made using the following;
Article IV of the U.S. Constitution;
Section 2 - The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities
of Citizens in the several States.
Article VI of the U.S. Constitution;
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
