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

Ayup..almost as scary as a Leftard with a gun huh?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
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.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

The guy has shown no violent activity with embezzlement, maybe he wants to
shoot ducks.

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.

Lots of laws have unintended consequences. Most negative.
