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.

It is truely amazing to learn how many of you whack job, gun
extremists sponge off of the public social service tit. When the two
things are added together it totals to ARMED WELFARE SLACKERS.

That strange conjunction is similar to the fact that many convicts I
have met are also strong adherents of the 2nd amendment.

Gun rights supporters would do well to stop pretending that all of
their allies are angels, so the country can make the changes that will
get military grade weapons out of the hands of the radicals and
criminals, and preserve the rights of responsible citizens to own
arms.

Heads up....military grade weapons are the most protected of all arms
for the People.

Sorry Dave..you may spew, utter bizzarities and push your flabby chest
out..but you are have zip credibility, zip authority and zip knowledge
of the Constitution.

So simply ruck it up, pull back to your den and be ignored by the
People until one drives a deuce and a half over it by accident and you
are finally rendered a road kill..

Or wait a couple 2-3 yrs and be caught in the upcoming firestorm where
all the Leftwingers of note are assassinated. You might get caught in
the storm, not because of your "authority" but because you are too
stupid not to duck.

Either way..you are given notice.

Thank you. Can still own a Garand, one of the most awesome milspec weapons
of all time, even in my expat state of insanity, CA. No beaurocrat accident.

Yep. My Brother slogged a .308 Garand in a Southern military high school
back in the late 60s. Neat variation, but if you want a .308 get a M1A or a
AR15 variant. The Garand chambered the awesome 30-06, primary dispatcher of
most WWII nemesis(-es?), is more than enough.

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

Great. A convicted embezzler with a gun. That's reassuring. Bet the
parole officers will just celebrate that innovation.
