I would have made the poll public. My vote was definitely. If they'd done their time and paid their debt to society, shouldn't they be a free man?

If it is a "life" sentence then they will die in prison.
Why should someone that made a mistake be unable to defend themselves and/or their families for the rest of their lives?
This is just another example of punishing a group that will actually follow the law, while failing to stop those that will not from getting a weapon.

Are you sure about that? Maybe you should do a little research on how easy it is to be convicted of a felony. We have a member on INGO that took a plea deal to avoid going to prison, he was scared to death that he might lose his case at trial. I know at least 2 other people that did stupid crap when they were 17 and 19 and now lead normal lives just like most people we know.You've got to question the intelligence and moral character of anyone that gets convicted of a felony in the first place. And if you have reason to question their intelligence and character, you have reason to question if they should be allowed have a firearm.
Exactly. It's too easy to be labelled a felon in this day and age. They hand those charges out for everything. Just like our member here on INGO that has had his 2A rights ripped from him for defending himself from someone (and winning) and that person turns out to be a protected class, with special privileges. You can be a felon nowadays for what was once considered a misdemeanor.Are you sure about that? Maybe you should do a little research on how easy it is to be convicted of a felony.

7 people so far think convicted murderers should be able to purchase a gun after serving their "life" sentence?
I am just opening the door for debate, not arguments!
Once a person serves their time, they have "paid their debt to society" and should get a clean slate. If they are not able to fit into society, to contribute and behave themselves, they should have either been put down in the first place or still be locked up, depending upon what their crime was and their current state.
Chalk up another definitely.
I am cool with using the Nuclear Option on NY...True. Just being from, or even near NY makes a person a threat not just to life and liberty, but the universe itself. Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
If it is a "life" sentence, doesn't it mean that a person will not be able to ever be out in free world again? What does this question, you are asking supposed to mean?
