and...there is a problem with that?

Yeah, it was a program set up to deal with the fact that blanket gun ownership bans will sometimes bar from firearms ownship those who subseuqnetly have become model citizens, or folks who are otherwise model citizens and make a mistake. Plus, do YOU think it's a good idea to allow the federal government to issue a blanket edict that restricts a right with NO review or appeal process?

Since 80% of convicted felons end right back in prison for usually the same crime, I don't think it is that big a deal. But just like capital punishment, an innocent man will sometime be put to death.
