There are people who lose the ability to drive after failing to operate their vehicle in a safe manner. I see no reason why guns should be any different, but the mere presence of a criminal past (particularly a nonviolent one) should not bar someone from getting a gun.

I don't see any logical reason why guns should be regulated much differently from vehicles, either.
Of course, we should both recognize the extra dynamic of weapon portability. That is, I can't really hide a car in my coat.
Current laws restrict felons from owning firearms for life. I think support of those current restrictions are inconsistent with the notion of inalienable rights to gun ownership. I wish other people shared your views regarding this topic.
