Disagree EE, felons equal no guns, time served or not. Choices and consequences.
If someone is too much of a threat to be free (freedom implies the RTKABA), then they are too much of a threat to be out of prison or still alive. Once free, however, all the rights attached to liberty apply, so don't let them go if you don't want them armed and amongst us.
We should be arresting a lot more criminals and keeping them in prison longer, and executing many many more criminals than we currently do. Armed robbery should be a ticket to the gallows, IMO, for example. Certainly on the second conviction.
