To put it in perspective; a person convicted of a felony is being punished, loss of certain rights including owning firearms, as of now, the ones that commit on the lesser side,they can get their conviction expunged in most states if they do their time, pay retrobution and keep their buts out of trouble!. But look at what it takes to accualy be convicted of a felony, I did some research befor I came back to make any more posts, arson, rape, murder, fraud, and so on were the felony charges, on toall crimes, theyare broken down and are determined if they are classified as a infraction, misdomener or a felony. Felony is the most horrid of crimes in the face of the community, to be convicted as a felon a real crime needs to be commited such as murderALSO REPEAT OFFENDERSof missdomeners are subject to be convicted as felons " they just cant stay out of trouble" I would bet that most of the Billy-Bob stories of he got into a fight and was convicted of a felony now he cant go hunt rabbits to feed his family is in fact that he probably got arrested for it more than once.. I would bet most people, other than the felons would agrea, that privlages should be lost when you cant abide the law that everyone else does. Think of when you were a child, you did something wrong, your parents would punish you, wether getting your but tore up, couldnt watch tv or whatever, they were trying to make you learn respect of the law andothers. Unfortunatly some didnt get it so sosiety and the judicial system needs to take away their toys!. If you would like to look up any of the definitions you can go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony I would paste it here for all to see, but I dont know how to do that.
