Felons and certified-insaned should be banned from firearms for life. OK, ex-felon can still have a muzzle-loading musket, here in USA.

3-D firmware restriction? Good luck with that. Open-source 3-D printer software makes this next to impossible.

I can agree with the clinically ill, but when you consider the disproportionately high conviction rate of people of color, then the felony restriction becomes a racist stance.

You didnt mention this, but I am also against restricting service members with a dishonorable discharge. For many people, gun ownership is a large part of thier community and thier lives. These folks would have to choose between following every order (legal or not), or going home and being left out of their community and culture for the rest of thier lives. It's a huge amount of leverage to make soldiers shut up and comply.

You’ve stumbled into a stance by pro-2A folks: The government should not have a monopoly on violence.
