re: No knock knock-off thread: Felons should be allowed guns in their homes

I would surmise then entire reason to not allow felons to own guns is because as a society, we feel they cannot be trusted (since they broke that societal trust, doing whatever it is they did to become a felon).

If we are going to allow felons to own guns in the home and vehicle, then we are saying "we trust that you, as a felon, will abide by the law and not use the gun outside of your home or vehicle"

At that point, either they will abide, making it a moot point to restrict where they can carry a firearm, or they will break the law and carry the gun with them outside of their home anyway.

ETA: Either let them own firearms straight up or not at all.
