"Any and all 'infringements' on gun ownership at the federal level are clear violations of the 2nd Ammendment."

Really? I'm rather fond of the federal law that bans incarcerated felons from possessing firearms.

You'd arm them?

They pay their fine to society, yeah. There are a bunch of non-violent felons. You and I could act as a bumper against the violent kinds by being armed at all times and under no fear of prosecution, since we'd be simply expressing our 2nd ammendment right as planned originally.

Thing is, you better get your state on board, 'cause it seems the BOR doesn't apply.

I'm with budwiesest on this also. The same rule should apply to somebody who has committed a felony as it does to any other individual.

If a law, with the threat of punishment, incarceration or fines can stop the individual from possessing a firearm if they wish to have one, then former felon or not, they should be able have one.

Why not? If they are the type to ignore the law, in spite of the deterrent of punishment, incarceration or fines then the will anyway.

Those who have paid the court imposed debt to society after committing a crime should have the same rights as any other person.
