Depends on what the felon did.

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and
us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when
you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

The question was "Or are you in favor of felons having the right to a
gun?"
In the "Wild West", a felon got his guns back as he left prison.
As to the "Wild West", you were more likely to be murdered in NYC
under Tammany Hall.

Oh..of course Im all in favor of the felon getting his guns back
after a time in prison.

If there had been a need to kill him, they would have done it before
he got to prison. Even during his crimes.

And there is always the next time.

Maybe his felony is cooking the books. Not a violent crime. An
embezzler. Lots of felonies are not for violence.

Then he shouldn't have lost his gun rights in the first place. I know,
the law doesn't differentiate but it should.
