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.

Also true.

Yes sir, if your sentence is finished. probation over, fines paid etc after release, you should not be stopped from exercising any rights of a “man” in society.
