see that would be a good rational but the fact that they are crimnials means they 
could get one even if they were illegal to purchase.
just another stupid law, to protect the criminals. like i said before, it wouldnt be
fair if we got shot and were saved by a bullet proof vest. when we get shot by a 
slime ball we should die like good little victims. 
(aaahh i just love this conversation helps me to vent)
