this will make you more likely to kill a home invader? Or more likely to senselessly use your legal and traceable gun in a random killing? Or what?

What are your thoughts?
Not all felons are violent criminals. They could be just like you ( ... plus a felony charge) and just want to protecr themselves with a "lefal weapon." Some commit white collar, and/or non-violent crimes. Some are not career criminals but have some isolated indecent in their past that prohibits them from legally purchasing a firearm. There are lawyers whose expertise is Restoration of Gun Rights that handle this kind of stuff all the time.

Another pertinent question: Should felons be able to own dogs to protecr themselves?

It’s not felons in particular but the wrong people have too many dogs.

I'd say the real problem is that the wrong people have too many kids.

I’d love to see a ten year world-wide no exceptions ban on breeding people.

We're all capable of felonies.

Restricting the rights of felons assigns them to a lifelong second class citizenry, and recidivism is a symptom of our flawed prison system used to blame felons for being "unfixable". The biggest criticism I see against it is part of a larger discussion about how valuable gun rights are.
