Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".
A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

Nah. My state has no gun regulations once purchased. There is a background check to look for felonies, but then that is it. No license, no concealed carry permit.
If you don't want someone to carry a firearm in my area then you put up a metal detector, because a sign can't stop people from carrying. It is really kind of "Wild West".
Passing a background check before you can purchase a gun is gun control. It is possibly the least gun control you can have and still have any, but it is gun control.
And nearly everyone is in favor of preventing convicted violent criminals from having guns for at least some sort of period of time.
Libertarians need not reply to this comment. Go enjoy your fantasy somewhere else.
A criminal that has served their time is supposedly rehabilitated and should reenter society as a full citizen with all the rights afforded to them. Not as a 2nd class citizen. That's bullshit.
I get that the justice system is broken and prison doesn't rehabilitate people. That's a problem with the justice system, not former criminals.
Yes, this is my opinion as well. If they served their time then all restrictions should be removed. If they think they may commit more crimes then probation should have been added to the sentence.
I said for at least some period of time. That's part of most parole conditions. Seems pretty fair to me.
