i was just saying, IMO, if an ex-con has already committed a “crime” to obtain a weapon, it sems they’d be more likely to use that weapon in commission of another crime.
the problem is letting those offenders out before they are rehabilitated or at all. a rethinking of time for crime must be addressed.
but the penalizing of an individual from protecting oneself to the best of their abilities violates their constitutional rights that shall not be infringed.
lots of people fall into the trap of good intentions...
