A felony is a felony. Break the law and you should pay.
quite funny that this mindset presents its self on this forum. considering what people in NC can do legally (OC for instance) is a 'felony' in other states. it is a felony in NC if you have the wrong address on your drivers license. It is a felony to sell raw milk.
my position is, if the law is unjust, it it unfit to exist. so one must judge both the law and whether one is guilty before making broad blanket statements like 'a felon is a felon.' in fact an acquaintance is barred from purchasing a firearm because he subdued his father in law who was chasing his mother in law with a knife.
lets not forget people who ignored the fugitive slave law were 'felons.' lets not forget that the people standing on lexington green in 1775 were 'felons' who 'broke the law.' lets not forget this country was created by good people, who broke bad laws, and illegally threw off their own government. 86% of 'felons' in federal prison were non violent offenders, so lets not pretend that all felons are just murderers or rapists.
lets also not forget that with firearms in NC, all you need is a couple different charges to go to jail as a 'felon' when you harmed not a single person.
