Makes sense--violent felons should give up the right to legally own a firearm. Embezzelers are not a danger...
The crimes I was thinking of were more along the lines of technical crimes. In some States, if a misdemenor could result in time spent in a State prison, the classification becomes felony. It could be late child support payments, or some paperwork/workrule violations. There are too many petty prosecutions that when coupled with this rule, deny justice. Embezzlers may not be violent, but they often don't change their habits.
