Felons Commit Really Bad Crime, Right?

Not always.

Did you know that you can lose your gun rights, perhaps forever, by getting caught up in some of the most ridiculous crimes? As one writer in Ohio put it this week, "When We’re All Convicted Felons, No One Will Legally Own A Gun."

Felony laws used to be reserved for the most heinous crimes, crimes of extremes: murder, rape, kidnapping, treason, etc. This is not true in today’s justice system. The GCA of 1968 doesn’t discriminate between violent/nonviolent felonies. This is the crux of the problem . . ."
