43. It is already "one strike and you're out".
The fact of the matter is, we already have a "one strike and you're out rule."

If you are convicted of certain felonies, even once, or if you have a restraining order against you, even once, or if you are involuntarily committed to a mental institution even once, or adjudicated mentally incompetent even once, you lose your second amendment rights.

Imagine what would happen if we removed guns from everyone who commits any offense of any kind.

Like jaywalking? Littering? What kind of offenses, beyond what NICS already covers, are you talking about?

Also, I assume "we" would be people living in the United States. You don't, so you should say "you".
