CooCoo,
The "felon" manufactured a firearm. If he can't own a fire arm, he can't own a firearm, made or bought.
As far as it being a cap and ball revolver, I think everybody should have the ability to protect themselves. If he's still dangerous, why in the hell is he out? That is what makes no sense to me. If you did your time, and the courts say you're "safe" (since we're gonna let them make the laws), fine, otherwise, they stay in.
If a former felon pulled a CB and took out someone that was gonna stab or shoot you, i dont konw anyone that would slap him or her (don't want to be sexist!) for doing so!
