It shouldn't be that difficult to understand. If you're out of prison or the mental hospital, that should mean that you're either rehabilitated or cured. But the government didn't want to spend the money so they let the bad and crazy people out before their time was up. Now we have to contend with killers and psychos that shouldn't be on the streets. Unless that's changed, no one is willing to give rights back to released prisoners the way it should be.

Outside of the Fedderal system, the main reason a number of state charge offenders get off light for predatory crimes is because many local state attorneys are either lazy or time limited or low on money. They cut deals for folks to plea and save them the effort unless it's a high profile case.

Any federal prisoner sentenced for a crime committed after late 1987 when the Guidelines took effect has been hammered under the new laws. If he or she has satisfied that then they should damn well get their gun rights back. IMHO...as well as all their other rights.

What is this view that folks should be punished forever some folks hold? There is a lot of hype surrounding this issue. I can't speak for state criminals...I am not authority on that...not much anyhow. BUT....one of my closest pals did big time ...11 years in the Feds for large scale weed smuggling. They are about to violate him for 27 months because he won't work like they want him to while on paper. This guy has inherited a crapload of cash from his grandpa while he was "away" and now he's out and they are gonna spend our tax dollars to send an indepently wealthy ex-con (completely non violent) back to the joint because he won't go flip burgers for them after 11 calenders?

The Feds ain't soft on sh!te ...trust me and it's the same arsewipes that will come for our guns one day given their marching orders.(with a few noble exceptions hopefully)

Yep....I prefer criminals who've done their time to have guns....it's just another back door to get to everybody's guns.
