That thought has more to do with people automatically thinking he is a thug, and the comments about felons being allowed to own guns to do with the actual law. I know in Kirkland's case he was arrested for a firearm related offense before and he should get in trouble for this. What about someone that stole $1000 worth of golf clubs though and got a felony charge, should they not be allowed to own a gun to protect themselves? Or someone who records a conversation without consent in the state I live, FL, they get charged with a felony and lose the right to protect themselves. Instead of saying all felons can't ever have a gun or ammo again they should change it to crimes seriously violent in nature or felonies commited with the presence of a gun should lose gun rights or make it part of the sentencing on a case by case basis.

Right now it is a blanket law that is not fair. There is/was supposed to be a way to regain gun rights as a felon by requesting a background check that would be conducted by ATF but the federal government doesn't give them funds to run any checks. I am more of the opinion that we should find a way to serial number bullets and make them extremely expensive to buy. Then if someone steals your bullets, you should have to report that the same way you'd report a gun stolen. Say a box of 100 runs from serial number 1000-1100 and they have a record of who bought it, then whoever bought the bullets better have a good excuse for how any bullets with those numbers may have ended up at a crime scene.
yea and drug dealers only have the shit on them for personal use, convicted rapists or pedophiles should be able to babysit your children, and so on
And any of that has to do with gun laws how? Previously convicted drug dealers I believe shouldn't face any worse punishment than a normal person if they were to be found in possession of an amount appropriate to personal use. Sexual predators of almost all types need to have harsher sentences for sure. Pedophiles shouldn't be allowed near children ever, there is quite a bit of evidence suggesting most will never stop having fantasies and urges. Again I don't know how any of that has to do with gun laws regarding felons though.
umm yea i'm seriously not gonna bother talkin to this brick wall, mark this one's all yours
