Your NRA at work. "Project Exile" Since it is a gun felony, he is likely to do more hard time than real rapists, thugs and thieves. Best regards,

Absolutely...next stop...no guns for combat vets who have been under the care of a VA Psychologist or gotten medication for a diagnosed psychiatric-medical-combat induced condition

Pvt. Lynch wont be allowed to own a firearm if this gets enforced...

Neither will any woman who has been raped...and gone for counseling for nightmares..fear induced anxiety etc will not be allowed to own a handgun for self or family defense..

Even if the rapist is still loose and is a threat..even if the threat is acknowledged by police..

However (from what I understand) illegal aliens with their US drivers licenses will be able to purchase firearms...even in California..

Or their families. Don't forget that the felon cannot even have access to a firearm. They are treated worse than a supervised 6 year old.
