People have the right to defend themselves. Period. With a gun. Period.

The policy that should be applied is: if he's too dangerous to have a gun, then why is he loose on the street?

I have a friend who got convicted on a drug charge many years ago. He plea bargained accepting a felony conviction in exchange for probation and no jail time (which in hindsight was a mistake, but he was younger then). He'd like to get his gun rights re-instated, but the legal costs would be several thousands of dollars, and it's not in his budget right now.

Sounds like he need to get the ACLU to take his case pro-bono. They love druggies! (He doesn't have to tell them he's reformed.)
