In other words, common sense should prevail here, but obviously it doesn't."



Here is mydaring reply:

Convicted Felons = Bad People / Criminals

Bad People / Criminals+ Guns = Armed Criminals / Bad People

Armed Criminals / Bad People= NOTHING GOOD!!

or maybe I'm just not seeing it from the criminals perspective??

As for their convictions, I agree with you that they carry the burden of their felony convictionswith themfor the rest of their lives, like the scarlet letter.They are truly branded for life. It is always held against them at job interviews, in looking for a relationship, in looking for housing, and in so many other ways outside of gun ownership. Until we convince the people that are in a position to decide things that it is acceptable to hire a felon to work at a school,daycare, or post office, or for your daughter to bring home the local heroin addict, burglar as a potential husband, to rent anapartment to the local crack dealer, or to show a child'ssoftball team pictures to the local child molester's anonymous group,I fear they may never be treatedas well asthe citizens that chose not to do those things in the first place. So.......sigh....I guess they will continue to be punished long after they are done serving time. I guess thereal problem here is that I dont feel the least bit sorry for them.

Now for my question of common sense:

When do westop being victimizedby them?
