The very term "convicted felon" and restrictions on their property, travel, certain activities supposes affirmatively that they are inherently dangerous persons. If they are allowed to roam freely - my neighborhood has been turned into a mere extention of the prison yard. They are in effect, minimum custody prisoners. That means that every free person is being exposed to this danger.How are you suffering by convicted felons being denied guns?
Anybody that wants one, two, or two hundred. On the other side anyone convicted of a violent crime is awarded no special circumstance if they commit another crime and are killed on the spot.
It pulls the rug right out from under my feet and those of others who have worked for years to make a case that gun owners can be, and will be, responsible citizens and nothing to fear.
With a few lonely and courageous exceptions I have never seen a more bloodthirsty collection since I visited Leavenworth prison many years ago. The general public is horrified to hear macho irresponsible statements like this by persons who may be carrying a concealed deadly weapon, and they show their horror at the ballot box, as do their elected representatives.
There are nine amendments within the Bill of Rights other than the second, and we may all be confident that so long as advocates of unrestrained ownership and carriage of deadly weapons of all kinds go public with words like these their goal will never be realized.

I don't want to argue if a guaranteed right is just. It is guaranteed by the document that is supposed to be the basis for our form of government. To hell with appeasment, crush them.
With those who can't be trusted kept locked up or executed
