I don’t have any issue with a convicted felon going through the process to get his/her firearms rights back. I have a good friend whom is going through this process right now. He’s a genuinely different person than he was a decade ago. He had a possession charge and a possession with intent charge and he’s working with a lawyer to have those charges expunged. He wants to bring his kids up in the outdoors and wants to be able to teach them to shoot and hunt. I’m rooting for him.
I know other convicts that I wouldn’t want anywhere near a firearm. People aren’t all the same and I’m not going to paint them all with the same broad brush.
I honestly believe that people should not be punished over and over again for the same offense. My friend did his year in prison. He changed his life completely. Got a good job and became actively involved in his community and works hard to keep young guys from making the same bad choices that he made. That guy, in my book, deserves every second chance that life will allow.
