I can't wait for the statists to show up with their, "If you can't do the time, don't do the 'crime'" drivel.

It is those person's with a violent past or mental unstability that should not have access to firearms. All violent offenders are felons, but not all felons are violent offenders. Even so, a former violent felon should be able to get a review. If a former violent felon can show themselves to have been rebilitated and no longer dangerous, they should be able to enjoy the right to self-protection like the rest of us.

Rehabilitation is a myth. Statistically a high percentage of people that are imprisoned go on to commit more serious crimes. I've seen that figure as high as 95%. I think all we are accomplishing is arming a criminal, if we allow felons to have 2nd Amendment Rights.
