172. Does a convicted felon have the right to own a gun?
That's a good question. Considering most states restore civil rights (like the right to vote) upon completion of a prison sentence, why shouldn't felons get their right to keep and bear arms back too? This is an issue where the "pro-gun" NRA disagrees but the "anti-gun" ACLU might actually side with the ex-offender. Food for thought.
