from the original tongue-in-cheek post which read like this:In accordance with newly enacted legislation, the gun owner will permanently forfeit his right to own guns, spend 10 days in jail and report to a probation officer for 10 years, submitting to regular and random home inspections, to ensure compliance. The new law signed by the governor earlier this week is called the "one strike you're out gun law." Supporters are optimistic that this year alone thousands of by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">lives
and millions of dollars will be saved.
What I'd like to clarify is exactly to whom this sanction should apply. The simple answer is anyone who does anything wrong with a gun.
1. dropped gun
2. negligent discharge
3. improperly stored weapon in the hands of a child
4. improperly stored weapon by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">stolen
5. brandishing
6. by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">lost
gun7. bringing a gun to the airport because you forgot you had it
Obviously, each of these can have a wide by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">range
of consequences and should not all result in the same exact punishment. A judge would have discretion concerning the appropriate jail time, fines, etc., but the forfeiture of gun rights is not up for bargain.
