I am not a lawyer... However it seems apparent to me that the founding fathers probably did want most citizens even those who had been convicted of crime to be able to keep and bear arms once the punishment had been served.
I have a brother who has a felony for trying to cash a check on a closed checking account... Was it stupid yes.... Was he just barely 18 and inexperienced... yes... Was it a felony, yes.....
And yet I dont think that the founders of our nation would agree with this as a bar to owning a firearm.... So the question is has anyone ever challenged the government on this issue and if so when and what was the result? Is there any hope of it being challenged in the foreseeable future?
