Can I add a question:
Do you believe that ex-felons and others should be denied the right to keep and carry arms? (GIven that this was the situation in the US for much of its history, given that ex-felons who want guns to commit crimes will get them anyway, given that legal ownership comes with responsibilities, given that this is the BIG wedge into denial or delay of possession through things like "background checks"?)

All civil rights should be restored at the same time. When an offender gets his right to vote back he should get his right to keep and carry arms back.

Background checks should be eliminated, as should all infringements on this basic human right.

Generally speaking, if someone is too dangerous to trust with a weapon they should not be outside of an institution.

If a convict has completed his sentence, restore his rights.
