I've recently rethought my stance on felons and their ability to possess firearms. I used to be totally against it. However, if I am to be honest and true to Constitutional principles... if they have served their sentence and not under probation, they have served their debt to society and should have all rights restored to them. If they can't have their rights, then they should still be in jail.

shite, I find that to be a pretty fair way of looking at it. Besides, if an ex-con really wanted to harm someone, they would find a way regardless.

Pedophiles get all rights back? Can be around kids unsupervised? Teach in schools?

Thankfully, the feds, most states, and the Supreme Court have decided that felons do not get their gun rights back.
