I assume everyone here agrees that felons should be allowed to vote, but I was curious what your thoughts are on gun rights for felons?

I honestly believe if we could get rid of the 2nd amendment that'd be for the best but since we are where we are as a country then if it's a right to have a gun then felons skills have that right. Getting out of jail without your full basic rights restored seems like bull**** to me.

People will say it's dangerous but guess what... The same arguments that they make about legal gun owners not committing crime with their guns actually applies to felons if they have a legal gun. You don't use a legal gun in a gang killing etc because it will be traced. If they're going to go back to shooting people they will do it the illegal way anyway. All that stopping them from getting a legal gun does is strip them of their right to protecr themselves in a country that is filled with people who own guns.

What are your thoughts?
