How many people have blasted me for saying felons should be allowed to possess firearms after their probation is over?
It's not WHO has a firearm, it is their USE!!!
Do you want to punish a felon who possesses a gun because he MIGHT use it to harm someone?
How about one of YOU felons who kept your illegal assault rifle? YOU are a felon.
(I have nothing against you though. )
By the way, notice in the 3 strikes thread the examples of people who were given life in prison for shoplifting! There are a whole lot of crimes out there that are felonies...
My brother was charged with felony hit and run when he was 16. His car hit some gravel in a corner and he slid into a yard and hit a 2" tree. He went back the next day to offer to pay for it. Problem was a passenger bumped his head. That made it felony hit and run...
