You act like ex-cons don’t have access to guns illegally. They all do and they all get them on the black market. If they had access to buy guns legally, at least we would have a paper trail on them. As it is, they buy hot guns police can’t trace back to them. Worse, this creates a market for hot guns.
There is no good that comes from legally prohibiting ex-cons from legally buying a firearm. It does not achieve the desired goal but comes with bad unintended consequences.
That is truly bazaar logic. Shall we just make them register before they commit rapes as well, so "at least we'll know?".
The purpose of making firearm possession illegal for a violent convicted felon, is that places them in a state of jeopardy leading up to a crime.

BS. This is like saying that suspending a driver's license is pointless, because people will just drive anyway. Firearms are deadly weapons. Someone convicted of using deadly weapons to rape, kill, and rob, should have their right to wield them taken away.
The fact that they can break the law is a nonsensical reason for allowing them to do it??? If a person has been convicted of violently attacking their fellow citizens, then it is both logical and smart to place restrictions on them. If they are then determined to be in possession of the tools of their trade, as it were, put them back in prison.
When did personal liberty become a matter of protecting rapists and murderers from due process? Some people have a total inability to understand that criminals have lost rights by virtue of being criminals.
