Hmmmm, can you get a year for traffic tix? Parking tix? This could be an easy way to get de facto gun control in place. Just raise the limit on a bunch of minor infractions to a year and a day and viola! millions of instant criminal felon gun owners, thoughfully databased courtesy of various gun control laws.

Absolutely! That's always been the basic problem with taking away the right of "felons" to keep and bear arms:

Who or what is the Second Amendment protecting the citizens from? Who or what decides who the felons are? (Hint: the answer to both questions is the same; that's the problem!)

Hell yah you can!! In my state (Oregon) you can get up to 3 years for a DUI, 1 year for Driving while suspended (3rd offense can be considered a Felony) and even 1 year for reckless driving (25+ over the speed limit)!!!! I can't wait for these laws to come here, I'll finaly feel safe walking the streets!
