“I’m not opposed to felons having weapons but truly dangerous felons should not walk free for anything less than 20 or 40 years.”
I don’t care about felons having weapons either. In fact, I think once they have served their time and are off parole, disenfranchising them is unconstitutional.
For murderers, we should never worry about them owning weapons, since they should either be dead or in jail for life.
Early America had few prisons for a reason.
