Guns and felons

Don't the feds prosecute people for being felons with guns all the time?

No person may be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process. You break the law by committing a felony, you get caught, and then you are tried and convicted of said felony, you have had your due process. If you have already shown a lack of respect for our society's laws by committing a felony, I really couldn't care less about your feelings about being a second class citizen or having your 2nd amendment rights infringed upon. You broke the law, and these are the consequences of doing so. Due process has been served.

~PLEASE UNDERSTAND I AM ONLY SPEAKING OF THE NON-VIOLENT FELONS! ANYONE WHO HAS EXHIBITED ANY TYPE OF VIOLENT BEHAVIOR, EVEN IF THEIR HEARTS CHANGE, SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED WITH A WEAPON!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This would seem to make sense regarding violent offenders, sex offenders, etc, but what about the stupid kids who made a mistake while they were young that did not involve violence? I married one of those 'kids', and now he is an upstanding citizen who won't even exceed the speed limit. I think it's unfair to revoke the gun rights of all felons. Most of the people who are violent with firearms ARE NOT felons therefore they have no restrictions, whereas a person who made a dumb mistake when young and later LEARNED from that mistake will never be able to take their kid hunting because of a law that unfairly groups all felons together. Most of the felons that will never change don't even walk their parole! I don't think sex offenders or other people who have violent felonies should ever get their gun rights back, but non-violent felons who show a change of attitude and heart while on parole and ACTUALLY FINISH PAROLE should be given some options. I grew up hunting and fishing, and now I can't even own a gun because the man I love is a felon. And second-class citizen? You have no idea! My husband can't get a job outside of construction work just because he was stupid as an 18 yr old kid! How many people have done things that, had they been busted, would count as felonies? How many people who commit felonies will never be caught? And what about the people who end up with felonies because of traffic violations?!?! Non-violent felons who exhibit a definate character change should be given a chance. And until you've lived and/or interacted with a felon that has had such a change of heart, please don't jump to conclusions. Just cause a non-violent person was dumb enough to get busted breaking the law doesn't mean they're any less guilty than the rest of us.
