What those 76 are probably wanting to say is that these things they call for are...
wait...
COMMONSENSE regulations!
Where have I heard that before?

So, am I to assume that everybody who voted for "No Restrictions" would be perfectly fine with a gun store selling an automatic weapon to a 12 year old gang member who's already spent time in juvenile hall for shooting at a policeman? That strikes me as beyond irresponsibility.
Unless we are willing to house common criminals for life, (which we aren't) the felon restriction needs to stick.
to fix this I'd redefine a felon to cut down on those bogous felonysI used to think, commit a felony, lose your rights. Lately with the ever increasing legal restrictions being passed by all the lawyers we continuously send to Federal and State Congresses, it seems that it gets easier for someone in authority to find anyone guilty of something...

Nonsense posts that provoke argument are called "trolling."
Don't do that.

That said, don't children's rights generally flow through the parents? Your 'scenario' is one of those internet things - a strawman, red herring, or some such thing. It's as ludicrous as people saying ' We need SOME restrictions! We can't have people owning nukes!'

Violent felons ought to be kept in jail, but if they're not, they should have some restrictions. Non-violent felons - uh uh. (I seriously doubt people like Martha Stewart would be a danger to me.) Druggies - no. Illegal aliens - HECK no.
But as a category of people, felons have demonstrated their disdain for the rules of society and shouldn't be owning firearms.
