I don't see the issue here- if you look at the facts, it's not a bad picture- our citizenry is well armed... well, FOOK YEAH!! and SO WHAT!!!
what's the problem with that- they try to make a very weak statement about numbers like 3300 felons and 400 repeat offenders that had their rights reinstated? out of what, 150 Million gun owners?
If I were the average Chinaman, what I'd hear is that I'm not going to show up for the assignment to invade America (because there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass)
There are more firearms in this country than there are loyal patriots to carry them into battle (by far in some areas like Berkley) in defense of this country.
And the message that we should focus on this Memorial day- Those who died for this country is the reason we still have that right!
