I would tend to agree with you except for violent offenders.
I haven’t been able to find much about this guy’s prior conviction or charges tho.

Then make the sentence such so that it is basically life for particular violent crimes albeit it does not have to be served entirely behind bars or even under supervision.

Just get rid of the idea that all felons deserve life sentences.

If they were violent offenders and are considered too dangerous to society to own a firearm then they are too dangerous to be on the streets too. If the courts decide, by virtue of the law, that you have served your time etc. then your basic human rights should be restored.

Freeing a man to be in open society yet depriving him of the means to defend himself and his family is a requirement for him to live as a second class citizen. Stripping a man of his dignity is not a good way to help him leave his mistakes behind and become a law abiding citizen.
