You know your posting history better than I do.
As for the rest of your post?
Why should something I might have done in the past keep me from owning guns for protecting my family?

Makes perfect sense. A killer's past should not interfere with his right to own a firearm. What do people think he is going to do? Kill someone again? Pssssh. I am sure he has changed his ways. Lets just give him a chance, just to see if we are right or wrong.
The above statement is the logic that lost the left the election.

Just top be clear;
You are FOR wanted felons with outstanding warrants owning and purchasing firearms.

The member is conflating someone who has served their time and paid for their crimes with wanted felons with criminal warrants for their arrest.
The last time I saw something this weak and lame, it was in a wheel chair.

So you all are angry that under Obamas DOJ half a million Americans who couldn't legally own guns before were given the right to?
Kind of strange seeing conservatives support the population being less armed. But then again, Obama.
Pretty sure you won't find any law abiding gun owner supporting felons having guns...
But sure....continue with the great argument. It's similar to anti gun folks thinking guns are the problem and "AR" stands for assault rifle....
I beg to differ. I know a lot of people who don't support themselves and others not being allowed to legally own firearms because of some indiscretion in the past, felony or otherwise.
Why should something I might have done in the past keep me from owning guns for protecting my family?
So these 500,000 people were murderers?

Unfortunately choices, past, present and future all have consequences. If you don't like the consequences then maybe the original choice should have been more thoughtful?
If owning a gun is what you want to do legally, then choices should be made to continue that right. Outside of that you can still own one, just not legally.

Now I WILL say that if you've done your time, you should have ALL rights returned to you.
That includes gun ownership and voting.
Because otherwise, the state is punishing that person for life.

Nice misleading assumption. I was talking about your statement, but for some reason I think you knew that.
Hmmmm. It looks like RDJ2 was right. You are very disingenuous.

Even if they somehow serve time for killing someone in cold blood, during the robbery of a flood victim, while evading taxes as an Administrator for a non-profit foundation?
How do you know these people are violent criminals?
Is there any information in the article about the crimes they are accused of?
I didn't see any.
I'd rather err on the side of more freedoms, as I've seen some posters here say in the past. But for some reason that doesn't seem to apply for them right now.
“It was the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel that reviewed the law and believed that it needed to be interpreted so that if someone was a fugitive in a state, there had to be indications that they had crossed state lines.”
