I think it's a bad idea.This state seems to do all it can to tread on the rights of law abiding people,but they want to make it easier if you're a convicted violent felon to be able to lawfully possess a gun and ammo.If you don't want to lose that right in the first place,don't commit a violent felony.

You don't have to be a violent person to commit a felony, or to be convicted of one.

 

I think it's a bad idea to have a system where someone is never done paying for their crime, even after they are released from incarceration.

Then they can run headlines in the papers to make all firearm owners look bad when these people end up reoffending.

This does not mean that I think that we should be soft on crime.

 

We need long sentences where called for , and the death penalty too,

not a revolving door justice system.
