No, speech or practice of religion are not of the same ilk as the right to own firearms, I am definitely on thin ice here, and I admit I am not entirely certain of my own perspective, BUT I cannot see how someone convicted of armed robbery should be allowed the right to own firearms again. A person convicted of a violent armed crime is just not in the same league as an innocent citizen, and should not have the same rights.
Quite simple. Eliminate prison, encourage everyone to carry weapons, wait 6 months, then well behaved people will predominate and many of the maladjusted will find themselves well-adjusted or dead. Rough 6 months. Try to spend it in the South of France. This may be the de facto eventuality as nanotech develops.
