Personally, I don’t mind denying weapons to someone who’s pled guilty to a felony. He should be in jail anyway, and they can’t have guns in jail.

I concur. I am a strong 2d amendment supporter and gun owner. However, I have no problem whatsoever with a back ground check to keep weapons out of convict’s hands, and I have no problem with any law to kept convicted felon’s from legally buying arms. I am also not stupid enough to know that they can get them illegally also.

I was just noticing a sign in the liquor department of a local grocery store stating that sale of alcohol to a minor is a felony.

Should anyone who sells liquor to a minor be sent to prison for life?

Signing a known-inaccurate income tax return is perjury, and probably a felony.

Should that result in a life-sentence?

If a person has a felony and they have “done their time” they should get their rights BACK. Unless the felony includes murder, using a weapon in a violent crime or something like that.

Otherwise, a “felon” is someone who is convicted of a crime.

Once they have attoned for their crimes they should go back to being normal Americans.
