So “states” could allow felons to carry handguns???

In a word, "YES!" In fact, they used to give guns to ~GASP~ released-felons, when they left prison. Heck, some of the best lawmen in the old west, at one time or another, were wanted by the law for murder and attempted murder.

I know several people who are convicted felons and I trust them with my life more than any police officer that I DON'T KNOW! It is about the people, not their past! Believe it or not, there are many people who go to prison, actually learn their lesson and then re-assimilate into normal life without ever blinking an eye.

We USED to be a forgiving society, because that is what the Bible tells us to do - not so much now, because most people don't know of the Bible's redeeming power!

Case in point: Newt. Only God knows if his conversion is sincere; I'll take his word (God's word that is, about casting the first stone).
