What part of shall not be infringed do you not understand. If someone is incarcerated, they cannot possess firearms. If/when they are released into public, all the rest of their rights are restored, so why not their right to self protection. If they are a danger to society, then keep them locked up.
I also question what constitutes a "felony" these days.

A guy I know got the short end of the stick with this. When he was 18 or 19 under cover officer tried to buy some drugs from him. He said no i dont mess with that. The under cover asked do you know where I can get some. He pointed to some guys across the club that were notorious for selling drugs. He didnt know them just knew of them. He got arrested as well as the guys selling drugs. He cannot posses a firearm now. Im not sure but he said something about ten years maybe before he was able to own one.
That's correct, I was arrested for dist. of mdma(drugs) given 5 years in D.O.C, served 6 months, got out of jail,completed all probation etc. waited for my 10 years to past (arrest free). I now can own/purchase/possess firearms (R.S 14:95.1(C)(1). I Believe everyone should have a second chance.A guy I know got the short end of the stick with this.

Depends on the felony.
Aggravated assault and/or battery, arson, burglary, illegal drug use/sales, grand theft, robbery, murder, rape - Probably not a good gun owner
Some 19 year old kid that downloaded a bunch of stuff on napster and got nailed with felony charges who is now 28 and has a family, pays taxes, etc - should be able ot own a gun
I don't know if it is true today, but at one time certain white collar felonies like mail fraud were exempt from the federal prohibition statute.
Real felonies should be punished by death, things like armed robbery, attempted murder, car theft, these all should have a minimum punishment of death. Political crimes like drug offences, are repugnant to the constitution.
I work at the courthouse and I always tell them if you pled guilty to a felony charge you can't possess, buy, own a firearm. If you go to buy one, there not going to sell it to you, no matter what the charge, violent or not. And contrary to popular belief, a "first offender pardon" does NOT restore your guns rights.
I have to leave Any interpretation of the law and what is and isn't to lawyers and judges.
Any other questions, I will be glad to look Into it.
