The Second Amendment Permits The Disarming of “Dangerous” Felons. Each year, more than 8,000 people are convicted for unlawful possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). About 90% of those cases arose from gun possession by a felon.
Possession of a firearm by a felon is considered a felony punishable by a prison sentence ranging from one to three years, depending on state laws. Second or third offenses will result in even more severe criminal punishments. These can include lengthy prison sentences and higher fines.
