re: #32 William Barnett-Lewis
IIUC, most states ban felons from owning them but they have to get caught before it’s an issue because no one checks. And really it’s easier for most crooks to get a modern handgun via a straw purchase than to futz with conversion cylinders. Usually that’s some dude who just misses hunting because he got a pot bust 20 years ago.
Would federal rules for ‘constructive possession’ apply as well?
