I would rather let maniacs have guns than let doctors lock up innocent people and remove their rights without due process.
I would rather try to improve both situations than throw my hands up in the air and wave them like I just don't care.

Convicted felons, can't buy guns either.
C'mon you know better, they can just (for example) go online and buy a gun, or if it's not a federal crime they can go to some other state or other bs like that.

Well that's a completely separate issue. You might though have difficulty finding people there if they weren't protected.
