This bill is so stupid, why they do this? Felons have rights too, they shouldn't take away their guns. It's not fair.

I think it's a good idea to stop adults who did bad stuff as teens from getting guns. It could help keep us all safer. #HRBill4991 #GunControl

I can't believe they want to take away guns from criminals! This is ridiculous, how are they supposed to protect themselves? What about their rights? What about my rights? How will this affect my safety?
