If a felon for example cant resist the temptation of cash in the register what makes you think they always change?
Hello; Don't know that I have any real confidence that a true felon will change, but to avoid prison they may have enough sense to follow the rules. Point being that in some manner they have been released back into society with the understanding they do not have guns.
if they do not know you have a firearm then chances are they will not do anything bad (especially if they are your friend)
Hello; I will stipulate that the felon is aware of the presence of a gun in my thought experiment. I will also allow that the felon is no more than a work acquaintance. No sly ways to avoid the issue of how far should legal gun owners be affected y the presence of a felon in a car pool.
the restrictions is on whichever household the person is living
Hello; The thing that comes to mind is that this reminds me of the tactics used by those who wish to ban guns altogether. They wish to ban guns from all of us because a very few have used them in unacceptable ways. By very few I am thinking that compared to the hundreds of millions of a population who own guns, a small percentage have used guns in an illegal manner. The logic seems to be to take away guns from some number of many thousands because one person might use one to do something illegal.
I guess that if I can not have guns in my home and a felon living in the home, then the felon will have to be homeless.
I also guess the fault in the logic, to me, is that somehow a felon can be kept away from getting a gun if he/she wants one. I can secure my guns in a home to limit access from anyone else felon or no.
One further clarification. I believe the gun death statistics include those done in self defense and by accident. Self defense is a vital use of a gun and, in my opinion, should not be lumped in with the numbers. An accident is by definition an accident and should be avoided, but not much of a reason to ban a machine.
