You may want to go back and read your Bible a little bit there dude.
God told Abraham 400 years of slavery but because Moses decided to do it his way Israel stayed in Egypt an extra 35 years. BTW Moses spent 40 years paying for his crime on the backside of the desert.
Another BTW You ain't Moses
Well, at least you seem to have a handle on the history of this and have an idea what I'm talking about.
I won't even bother conversing with some of the others who are too uneducated on the subject to even grasp what I'm trying to say.
Moses made a mistake. As you stated, he paid for it.
I'm no Moses. Nor am I Paul Revere or any number of other great figures in history. Nothing I did would havebeen a crime in the eyes of the founding fathers who gave us the 2nd amendment. No one was hurt. I was carrying just in case of the need to protect myself or my employee. The state decided to make an example of us.
I am a human being as are the 15-25% of people who are wrongly or justifiably convicted of felonious crimes in the US who have never hurt another human being and do not return to crime.
I am trying to be a voice for those 300,000 to 400,000 who are in prison now who either never committed the crime they are accused of or will never commit another. (You can look up the statistics yourself)
It doesn't affect me that much other than being a thorn in my side that we, as a people, are so willing to let the anti-gun crowd lead us like sheep.
I'm sure your wife has seen her share of scumbags she had to defend. I was not one of them. Neither are approximately 1/4 of a million or more of Americans who are stripped of their right to defend themselves from attack each year who have never had any intention of harming another human.
Yes, there are felons who shouldn't ever have weapons. If they don't deserve the right to defend themselves they don't deserve live or liberty.
Why is that so hard to understand?
