Default RE: Second Amendment

Speaking of convicted felons.....not owning a firearm, I hate when a crime takes away a right unrelated to what the crime was. If you committed armed robbery using a firearm, sure that guy shouldn't be able to own a firearm legally, but simply lumping all felons into the category of not being able to use a firearm is ridiculous. Many crimes that are felonies can be non-violent, and non-drug related as well, I know many guys like to point to drugs as a non-violent and some disagree with that but there are many other non-violent, non-drug felones. My point is that the punishment should relate to the crime, if you get a DUI they take away your license, they don't take take away your right to buy cigarettes. Of course I guess asking for that is too much, I must be crazy to want crimes/punishments to be related, just, and fair.
