Lawmaker wants felons to have the right to bear arms

Colorado State Rep. Perry Buck believes so much in the right to bear arms that she thinks even convicted felons should be able to own guns -- once they get out of the clink, of course. And only if they were convicted of, you know, “good felonies,” which Buck defines as non-violent crimes. Guns for (Good) Felons is the gist of a new bill from Buck, who introduced legislation that would allow for certain felons to be able to possess firearms once again. Buck’s arguments are that nonviolent offenders are unlikely to commit violent crimes so it would be “irresponsible” to deny them access to instruments of violence. [Source]
