    I reject the idea that any criminal convition nulifies an absolute right.

    Someone is convicted of assault and battery, armed robbery, homocide, etc., they may still possess firearms. Laws do not prevent mass murder, street gangs have unlimited fire power, blackmarket sellers don’t ask why someone is buying it, thereby people are butt studpid to believe a law will forever eliminate homicide.

    It’s a cultural problem in society, not a gun problem. If I had a neighbour who was in prison and now has multiple firearms for sport shooting, I might try to be friends with that person to go shooting together and listen to how they changed their life from their prison days.

      Felonies restrict rights. I have no issue with that. We take away many rights under a felony.

      Otherwise there is no punishment.

        I reject a felony affecting individual rights. I will never report anyone with a conviction for possessing guns.
