Well, that depends. Are they non-violent crimes? Has the person reintegrated into society favorably? Does that person have a history of violence?
It's such a blanket statement for each case to case basis. In my case, they were all non-violent crimes, I have no history of violence, and I've reintegrated into society favorably.
Should I be able to own a gun legally as a convicted felon? Yes.
Do I want to own a gun as a convicted felon? No.

I already addressed this as best I can. Yes °felon" is a blanket term that is over inclusive. That's a problem with this sort of law, but beyond that I'm saying that no matter the felony there's no reason to assume they pose an extra risk with a legal gun except for maybe crimes where a legal gun is used, such as domestic shootings. In that case maybe I could see restrictions. But not just any violent or gun crime because most of them don't involve legal guns anyway.
