As someone who thinks gun ownership is irresponsible and wrong and silly and so on (in light of the horrific harm they cause, if they didnt cause so much harm then I would be all for them), as long as the GSL is going to run our courts and government, hell yes we need to let all those felons, including all the BLACK ones, to have guns.

Maybe the only way to grow up as a society about guns is to go full throttle, then when the carnage gets so bad, we can then follow the 2nd amendment and move ALL guns to well regulated militias.
