Let's have another gun debate, shall we?

I know it is.

But I don't think the jury is fully aware of everything that gets attached to a guilty verdict. Not to mention how much constitutes a felony these days.

Assaulting a police officer is a felony, and assault can include any number of things. Say some 18 yr old kid gets drunk and ends up in a scuffle with a cop. For whatever reason, Bam, felony. Think about domestic violence, which now has an extremely broad definition, some parts are just ridiculous. Domestic violence equals loss of 2nd Amendment.

I think the stripping of rights is an extremely serious matter and should not just be willy-nilly added to anything. It should be considered separately and equally to any other type of punishment.

If people didnt go swimming no child would ever drown in a pool lake river or stream.
If people didnt eat food nobody could ever choke to death on food.
If people didnt drive cars nobody would ever die in an auotmobile accident ( which kills far more children every ear than guns BTW)
If people didnt have pets then they could never attack and kill people.
If people didnt go ouut in a lightning storm they wouldnt get struck and killed.
If people didnt live in earthquake zones then nobody would ever die in one.
If people didnt live near the ocean hurricanes wouldnt kill them.
If people didnt live in the cold areas of the earth they wouldnt die from freezing to death.
If people didnt require food to live then nobody would ever starve to death.
If people didnt do many stupid kinds of things then nobody would ever die from their ignorant actions.
If people didnt live there wouldnt be any of these things to worry about in the first place.
If people didnt blame other peoples actions on inanimate objects then we wouldnt be having this conversation.

Guns may be inanimate objects, but they were created to kill...cars weren't.
