      Should a convicted felon ever get their gun rights back?

      Just reading some stories here in the forums and ran across a thread where a person was in the process of dropping their felony to a lesser charge. The end result is a convicted felon being able to purchase a gun again. Do you think this is ok?

      Can felons get their firearms rights back?

      So the brady handgun protection act says that felons cannot own firearms. I don't know any felons nor am I a felon. I was wondering since I've seem all these sites online that say felons can get their firearms and all other rights back is this true?
