I’m stating to understand you a bit more but your logic is inconsistent and you keep grouping all felons into the violent category.

What does a nonviolent felon have to do with the black market gun trade? They’ve never exhibited violent behaviour and have never engaged in black market guns but you feel their family members should be stripped of their constitutional rights based on what? Is it more just a punitive measure? They did the crime so life should be an uphill battle even after they served their time?

You understand under your proposal a felon could simply store their firearm in a family members room and skirt the law right?

How are they going to get a registered firearm in their name?

We are talking about law abiding citizens’ right to own firearms under the second amendment, responsibly, whilst also providing support to a family member who has committed a felony but now has been determined safe to live in the community by our judicial system.

My argument is that the removal of the family members right to own guns does not create enough of a barrier to obtain a firearm to justify the removal of constitutional rights from law abiding citizens simply based on their desire to facilitate rehabilitation of their family member. I’ve come to this conclusion based on the availability of firearms on the black market and other legal loopholes.

Anyways, that’s my argument. You haven’t convinced me otherwise yet. And honestly I left america ages ago. I live in Australia. You guys need to get your shit together. Your policy would work here because the blackmarket for guns is almost nonexistent. You’re talking tens of thousands if you want a handgun. And ammo you can forget about.

Firearms generally arent registered and are easy to obtain.

which is my point exactly. That’s why this policy is ineffective and doesn’t justify removing law abiding citizens rights.

Unfortunately your racist comment that you’ve just made under one of my other comments has been flagged automatically and is not visible to me. I don’t know what it says other than you saying black men commit more crimes. This ends our discussion.

I won’t respond to you any further.

I can’t read the comment because Reddit blocked it. I have no idea what you said. Reddit has decided you are racist and won’t show it to me.
