[QUOTE="Fantine, post: 69326142, member: 114159"] I believe that people convicted of felonies lose their right to own a gun. In some red states, they also lose the right to vote. Where the domestic violence is a felony, why should it be treated differently from any other felony? Grand larceny is a felony, and it might only be a theft of a few hundred bucks. Is not harming family members that you pledged to love and honor, or innocent children in your care, an even more heinous offense? If a thief, harming no one physically, can lose his rights to own a gun, why are we not protecting innocent women and children and the elderly from thugs in their own homes? I do believe that many of Thomas' decisions on the Court are the result of the financial gain his wife gets from running conservative thinks tanks and consulting firms promising her clients "access" to the judiciary. But in this case it's just poor judgment, egregiously poor judgment. Congress should have listened to Anita Hill--this "empty robe," siding with domestic abusers, should never have been appointed to the bench. [/QUOTE]
