The Position All Thinking Americans Are FORCED To Adopt

When the evidence available to you changes what do you do?
An intelligent person changes their opinion.
I’ve changed my opinion.
As I’m sure you’re aware if you’ve been reading my column I’m utterly outraged at the willful and intentional malfeasance and misfeasance within our government when it comes to truly dangerous and severely-deranged individuals irrespective of their motivation. A few years ago I wrote a column on a loser a few hundred miles east of here in Florida who shot and killed a Marshal coming to serve him with a warrant. He had previously been convicted of not one but two violent felonies; first carjacking and then, after being convicted and subsequently released from prison, sexual assault on a minor. Despite not one but two serial convictions for serious anti-social and violent behavior our “very faithful and good” alleged just-us system let him out unsupervised again. I can be convinced that someone can do a horrible thing and reform but after the second serious felony involving violence, especially when the second offense involves sexual assault on a child, there’s no excuse for him being a “free man.” Quite obviously being a convicted felon didn’t bother him in the least when it came to firearms either as he acquired a shotgun (illegally) with which he killed said Marshal.
Given the news flow and count of incidents where our government simply fails through malfeasance and misfeasance to do that which is not only a matter of common sense but is actually required by law, and there has never once been a single government employee or official prosecuted, stripped of their office and benefits or imprisoned for same, even when the duty to perform is in fact set forward by law, I am now of the opinion that the Second Amendment has no exceptions as to persons whatsoever, except for a person who is currently under active court supervision (e.g. between arrest and trial, post-trial up to the termination of probation or parole, or under active mental supervision as directed by a court under due process of law.)
