I'm not "that" pro gun and I'm fine with it
I have spent my adult live advocating for the rights of law abiding gun owners. Then the Libertarian "2A absolutists" have to show up with the sorts of positions that will ruin it for everyone.
Felons should have their Second Amendment right automatically restored upon completion of their sentence. https://t.co/8BaPiJtHbA

Frankly, I'm fine with violent offenders not having their gun or voting rights automatically restored. Given that "Within three years of their release, two out of three former prisoners are rearrested and more than 50% are incarcerated again." I just can't believe that... "I think that convicted rapists and suicidal crack heads should be able to buy guns while lying on the background check." Is a winning message, or a reasonable position. Other than taking pride in their absolutist nature, what do these people hope to accomplish? And if this is what it takes to be "pro-gun" in today's gun culture, I'm going buy a photographer's vest and some white New Balance sneakers and embrace the Fudd, because I won't be party to that.
