First, I appreciate the sincere thought out response.
Second, we are in agreement that prison makes violent people more violent and the entire system needs to be fixed.
But if we are in agreement on these points then how does that square with violent guys getting released? Can you address the question of whether you believe guys are suddenly not violent after x amount of days? And finally if your willing to admit that they probably still are violent even after x amount of day, how does that square with the initial concept (non violent enough to be held means guns).
Honestly I have no problem with violent felons being barred gun ownership if they are released. This is a concession, because I realize that right now violent felons are routinely released from prison when they shouldn't. In a perfect world, those felons who are released would not deserve to have their fundamental human rights taken from them, and I think the right to bear arms is such a right.
What I am always and forever against is everyone going through prior restraint hoops like "background checks" to see if someone is a felon before they buy or carry a gun.
