    If being a felon bars you from owning a gun, why should a felon be allowed to command all the guns in the US military?

      To play devil’s advocate: You could argue that in this case, the entire nation holds a vote over reinstating the right to own the ultimate gun.

      The problem with that is, spin doctoring has gotten too good for this jury and you don’t even need the majority to win.
