Those who are pushing for gun legislation want a system of verification of gun purchases that can ultimately bar certain citizens from obtaining a firearm. However, what is it about a felon owning a gun questionable? Are all felons violent? Being an ex convict doesn't indicate mental capacity. Are you of the opinion that those who are felons aren't worthy of protection?
I think if you served your time, to deny them a gun right is to punish them a second time. If they are not suitable to have a gun then they are not suitable to be free in society. If they can't own a gun then they should not be walking around free.

No inherent right is absolute. As the adage goes, "your rights end at my nose." Those who abuse their rights by harming others are removed from society (put into prison). Why would anyone want to put a tool to harm others in the hands of a known (convicted) rights abuser?
Should we allow convicted arsonists to purchase flamethrowers?

Should a felon that committed a non violent fine not be able to protect themselves?
Should Martha Stuart lose her civil rights?
There is a supreme court case that established that it is illegal to require a felon to register their firearm.... So if we did do a gun registry only law abiding citizen's guns would be registered, lol.....
Last year 48,000 cases were referred to ERIC HOLDER and the Department of Justice where felons were busted trying to purchase guns.... They prosecuted 44 of those cases.

If convicted of a felony, part of the punishment includes being prohibited from exercising their right to vote and bear arms, for life. It is not a "second" punishment, it is part of the original punishment for committing a felony.

Of course they should be able to protect themselves. That is inherent. They will just have to find another tool besides a firearm in which to protect themselves if they are convicted of a felony, and that includes Martha Stuart.
