I haven't read all of the posts but I have read most of them. I have to admit I am a bit suprised just how many there are on here who are in support of fellons.
Now the question was asked in a general manner. so generally felons should absolutley NOT be allowed to purchase firearms.but there is something to be said for looking at a situation case by case. it would depend on the nature of the crime commited. if the crime was nonviolent then maybe the person in question could be able to buy a gun. if the crime commited was violent in nature then there is most likley something wrong with the person upstairs and they shouldn't be able to purchasea gun. It should be descided case by case, but generally no they should NOT be allowed to purchase firearms.
the "bad guys" are going to obtainweapons one wayor another so why try to make it easier for them? just my2 cents.
