Convicted Felons and firearms

If you are not incarcerated, you should have all of your rights restored imo. If you can't be reasonably trusted in public, then you shouldn't be out of prison.

I have to disagree with this. I will use my brother as an example... He's in prison for dealing, GTA, B&E's, and something to do with organized crime. He's on his fourth fellony, and stint in prison. Twice, he had a stolen gun on him (last two times). He's due to be released sometime later this year, or next year... Anyway, they have those laws to keep guns his hands (or to make it harder anyway). I think if it isn't a felony agains someone else, fine, restore their rights. Once you screw something up for someone else directly and on purpose though... You're done.

I think what he is saying is that, perhaps the persons in question should stay in prison until such time as they can be trusted.


your brother would be a prime example of someone that could not be trusted and should just stay in until he has been rehabilitated.
