Even those who committed violent felonies with firearms?

that's the problem with our legal system, too many people get out without rehabilitation. if they can't be trusted with a gun, why are they allowed to be a part of society at large?

The purpose of prison is not to rehabilitate, but to punish. It is the responsibility of the individual to rehabilitate themselves. If they need help with that, they can get it. All they have to do is ask.

To try to turn prisons into rehabs would be silly. You cannot rehabilitate someone unless they WANT to be rehabilitated.
