I for one agree that rights should not be forfeit without due process. They often are, though, partly because a career legislature remains in office due to public perception that they are doing something good for their constituents. This takes the form of writing and voting on bills which when passed become laws added to the books -- laws that too frequently trample on rights "for the children" or in the name of "public safety". Unfortunately the laws dealing with "public safety" and mental health are informed by the subjective nature of mental health diagnosis and treatment, which puts subjective judgement in the hands of mental health professionals who may be quite averse to the individual ownership and use of self-defense tools. These laws also typically err on the side of "public safety" at the expense of individual liberty and the right to defend oneself.

Judged, you obviously feel that you have been wronged, perhaps in many ways. I thank you for your service and hope for better days ahead for you. My own political contributions of any variety will be in support of a Constitutionally limited government that allows as much liberty (with the inherent Rights) as possible to its citizens.
