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.
So you would say that if a felon committed a violent crime with a gun, they do their time and are released, they should lose their right to own a firearm (in certain circumstances)?

If so, what circumstances would you say necessitate that? A school shooting? A church shooting?
