Not so much that they a desire to own a handgun, but they did enjoy hunting in the past and this is no longer an option for them......and it never will be!
You would be a defense attorneys dream come true.

You do know that most employers frown upon felony convictions and years of unemployment right? You do know a parole certificate is not exactly a college degree correct? And also, you understand that a felony stop is a bit more then extensive scrutiny, that it involves being removed from your vehicle, hand cuffed immediately no questions asked, searched sometimes violently, and generally humiliated, sometimes for no reason at all? By coincidence I have never NOT been felony stopped by the police, whether on foot or in vehicle, though I am not exactly a
convicted felon.

further, OJ is not exactly a young man, there is a good chance that he will die in prison. so I affirm my exaggeration and call it a lynching, particularly because of the racial sentiments of 90% of the people who say that he had it coming..
