This is rage bait... Possession of a firearm by a felon is a much harsher felony... There's no point in making the prosecution more expensive by also litigating this clerical duty for a lawfully owned firearm.

No it's not. Both 18 usc 922 (g), (n) and the NFA violations carry a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Nonetheless I'm not trying to give anyone rage. If my comment enraged you that sounds like a you thing.

You were literally just freaking out about how crazy it was that someone who can't legally own a firearm can't be prosecuted for a law that is only relevant to legally owned fire arms... You sounded enraged to me lol.. 

You thinking it's moronic just illustrates you don't understand the laws and how/why/when they should be applied.
