I have read of efforts to expand the definitions of crimes which will get a person's gun rights revoked. A couple of simple speeding or parking tickets and no more duck hunting. Perhaps you were on Riddalin(sp) as a youth if they can correlate it, no more pheasant hunting. Your wife, who you caught in bed with her Volvo mechanic, wants to put you in a bad light and her accusation of abuse is treated as fact when she lies to get herself sympathy and a better divorce settlement.

I agree with almost everyone here. You cannot believe a criminals discription of his own crime. Most criminals will always remain untrustworthy. Violent criminals should not be trusted to own a gun. Yet, non violent criminals sometimes do repent and stupid youths can become responsible adults. Lets just keep it the way it is, a felon must live an exemplery life and not have been violent, then, a good review and maybe the restoral of gun rights. We need to keep watch on the anti gun croud though or the list of things that may get your gun rights revoked will get longer and longer until it gets to the point where no one will be able to possess firearms.

I think states could grant, through law, partial gun rights. A felon could perhaps get permission to use a gun for target practice or hunting, in the field only, yet not be able to take it home. The guns go with a responsible party who is the owner and possessor of the firearm.
