Montana,
On this I could not agree more. Here, the police run a cottage industry selling official clearances which list your criminal records for $50 each time. Driving records are another $50. There are online clearance providers who do the same on an industrial scale, especially for the mining and defense industries. Most potential employers want applicants to provide this now. Meanwhile, the ex-offender sits at home seething they cannot get a job or at least be competitive in the job market. Tell someone they are different for life and they will act differently - re-offending out of frustration or necessity, and being anti-social the rest of the time. A lot of terrorists however will have clean criminal records or come from places which don't record this sort of stuff. Keep them in or let them out, but if you let them out there is no tattoo on their forehead like the Japanese used to do.
Sounds like raising the age barrier to firearm ownership is more about maturity. Here it is 18 however there is no minimum if under the direct supervision of a license holder.
