There has been debate lately on restoring voting rights for felons but what about gun rights? For example I know a woman who when she was younger got arrested for possession of cocaine. She has not been in trouble since and is living a normal law abiding life.
She has had a stalker, a man who follows her, and broke into her apartment stealing certain personal items of hers, he was arrested but that doesn't mean he won't come back and possibly become violent.
Having a felony on record she is not allowed to own a firearm. Now my opinion is depending on the felony violation some should not be allowed to have a gun but in cases like the woman I mentioned seems to me there should be case by case judgement on it.
What say you?
This is another reason why I don't support zero tolerance mandatory laws, a one size fits all law is short sighted in my opinion.
