Good luck to you. I signed it, though it doesn't seem just perfect. I don't read anything in the second amendment about "except for former potheads" or "except if you once had a felony that your state doesn't seem to care about anymore".

Additionally, you could consult with the local/state authorities regarding your legal status for buying antique or muzzle-loading firearms. In many states, a black powder/muzzle-loading rifle does not legally equal a firearm or have to be sold through an FFL or shipped to an FFL. I really enjoy my 1858 Remington replica revolver and my sidelock pistol; neither required an FFL.
