I’m all for vigorous prosecution and stiff penalties for cruelty to animals, but not for linking that to suspension of 2A rights. There is no logical connection.
Is loss of the right to free speech, a free press, the right to assemble, or practice religion ever considered as an add-on punishment? No
How about we make violators quarter soldiers in their homes without their consent?
Or subject them to unreasonable search and seizure, or maybe take away their right to not self-incriminate?
Maybe we deprive violators of the right to a speedy trial, or a trial by jury?
Or maybe declare that rights not delegated by the constitution to the federal or state government will NOT be reserved to people who violate certain statutes.
Why is it always second amendment rights that are targeted?
