Bobby Jindal made gun ownership a fundamental right via constitution right in his own state. That means felons and rapists and bank robbers can't be denied guns.
I'm pretty sure Democrats won't do that.
where do you come up with that crap
Uh ... Bobby Jindal cannot make the Louisiana State Constitution say one thing or another.
The Citizens of the state of Louisiana ratified (with a 75% margin) the constitutional amendment making gun ownership in Louisiana a "Fundamental Right".
It states ...
"The right of individuals to acquire, keep, possess, transport, carry, transfer, and use arms for defense of life and liberty, and for all other legitimate purposes, ...
is fundamental and shall not be denied or infringed, and any restriction on this right must be subjected to strict scrutiny."
Albeit ... rdean's comment is incorrect since it doesn't specifically state that felons are allowed weapons.
There is a case before the Louisiana Supreme Court involving a felon and the newly ratified amendment ... But it hasn't been heard yet.

it seems fair to view the removing of ones rights
through a strict scrutiny test
