"Felons Finding It Easy to Get Gun Rights Reinstated...Decades of lobbying by pro-gun groups have loosened laws across the nation, allowing thousands of felons each year to regain their gun rights, often with little or no review.
While previously a small number of felons were able to reclaim their gun rights, the process became commonplace in many states in the late 1980s, after Congress started allowing state laws to dictate these reinstatements — part of an overhaul of federal gun laws orchestrated by the National Rifle Association."

Which states? the usual suspects? Are there ANY limits left in place stopping violent criminals from getting legal guns?
Timely post...today Nov 16 the U.S. House of representatives passed legislation that would allow concealed weapons to be carried over state lines. Meantime here in Michigan the state legislators are on a hunting break. Also here in Michigan, as of this year, ten year olds are now allowed to hunt for deer, bear, and elk. The NRA is hard at work lately it seems.
