[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3962538, member: 45773"] Yeah...they did in certain cases though I'm not sure they used the term "felon" to describe the person prohibited. There is historical precedent all the way back to colonial America for prohibiting arms ownership for some people considered violent or dangerous at the time. Even during the time when the Constitution and BoR were being debated there was lots of language that indicated certain violent people should be prohibited. Then again, many of the people who would've been prohibited due to their dangerous behavior or violent offense were often executed. Of course, there was also debate about restoring rights to possess firearms once the person could prove he was no longer violent. So, I would agree with you that certain felons should arguably have their rights restored when their punishment is concluded. ETA: This is a great piece that talks about early efforts at "gun control". [URL unfurl="true"]https://scholarship.law.uwyo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1434&context=wlr[/URL] [/QUOTE]
