no. what i am saying is unless we go back to the justice system that worked, because violent felons were executed within a week or to of sentencing,
there would be no discussion of whether someone who was a felon could have a gun or not.
not a violent felon == keep’guns.
violent felon == executed felon.
Define a violent felon worthy of execution and cite the period of time you are referring to when this condition was present. It occurs to me that you are broadening the class of those eligible for execution to those who commit any felony involving violence, which was not the case. Imprisonment for a lengthy period based upon the crime was intended to repay “the debt to society” and allow the reformed reprobate the opportunity to rejoin that society. It appears execution plays a larger than needed role in your concept of justice. Be careful what you wish for.

Okay, no offense, but now define “violent”. It’s just too slippery. Look, if you don’t like the fact that we let people out who shouldn’t be out, don’t take that out on free citizens. Not trying to argue - I know what you’re trying to do - I just think we can’t do that if we want to remain free.
