Perhaps we should just execute all convicted felons? You would like that wouldn't you?

I like how the federal government can pass a law in the 1990s that takes away the right to own firearms for felons convicted prior to the passage of that law. Ex post facto? Who cares, we're the feds!

Ex post facto? I'm not sure that applies. While the initial felony convictions occurred before the passage of the Federal law, the act for which he was convicted by the Feds (owning the gun as a convicted felon) occurred after it's passage.
