The prohibition on possession by felons is federal and does not provide for a “dwelling defense” exception. |
Wrong. That's for purchasing, not possession. State laws allow for possession on personal property, but still not for purchasing firearms or ammunition, so someone has to provide it to them. Laws are being overturned for certain felons to vote again, and will be applied to purchasing firearms as well as cannot do one without the other, but that's still in the future for the most part. |
Kinda like Zed did? |
See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) specifically prohibiting possession. |
Doesn't matter, they are still allowed by state laws. |
Whether or not that is true in terms of any given State, the federal prohibition on felons possessing firearms very much does matter — to the tune of significant legal exposure including but not limited to imprisonment for up to ten years per offense. No conflicting state law would bar federal prosecution. |
If Kamala keeps a handgun for home defense, it is not unreasonable for other Americans to also keep a firearm at their home for home defense. Getting quality training is highly recommended. |
