There is also the charge of “felon in possession of firearm” which is one of the most underutilized charges but carries up to 10 years in jail and $100K in fines as penalties, IIRC.

Felon? Why are they OUT of prison, being a ‘felon’??
If you mean EX-felon (aka Citizen...w/ all privileges & Rights thereof), they you’re supporting TIERS of Citizens...and the U.S. ain’t India w/ castes.
Felon
a person who has been convicted of a felony
Once a felon — always a felon
Many states (California is one of the worst offenders) tend to release violent felons on ‘community supervision’ or ‘probation’ long before their nominal sentence ends. Then they’re ‘surprised’ when said felons commit more crimes while on this ‘community supervision’.
