But he specifically referred to those whose felonies were committed before the passage of the gun-ban-life law, yet it is still applied to them. How is that not ex post facto?

My bad Sandy. I read your post too quickly. It is ex post facto as applied to felonies committed before the passage of the gun-ban-life law. I would be interested to know when that law was passed. Do either of you know?
