"Aren't their regulations for gun ownership like felons can't legally have them?"
There never used to be.
Back in the 'old west' days, once a felon was released from prison his guns were returned to him.
Something about his 'debt being paid to society'.
Now a days, once a felon, always a felon, no matter what.

Like when the population of the country was 10 million?

Now a days, once a felon, always a felon, no matter what. I do take *some* issue with that. A repeat offender? No, let them have the stigma. But a one-time offender who has truly reformed himself should be able to expunge his record after a certain amount of time.

Be careful about your comparisons with the "old west". That OK Corrall thing wasn't about concealed carry, but simply carry.
Personally I'm comfortable with restricting the rights of violent felons, rights they've forfeited, all felons, forever probably goes too far.
