bills that you're appropriately concerned about. As you will see, if convicted, the offender becomes a felon and will "forfeit" his/her gun "rights" subject to reinstatement. If that same person is later found with a firearm and not reinstated, are you okay sticking that person with another felony and confiscating that person's firearms since that person will clearly be a felon in possession??
