Jason Gerhard is a living example of someone who really shouldn’t own guns but would legally be allowed under this bill. Technically a nonviolent crime until you peel away the tax fraud conviction to show that he was arrested with pipe bombs that he was planning on using as IEDs against police arresting the Browns. The only reason he is currently out of prison is the feds changing mandatory minimum sentencing around explosives. He is basically a living gotcha for his own bill, an contrived set of circumstances seemingly designed to argue that his own bill is a bad idea.

The only way I could come up with a stronger argument against his proposed bills would be to target the absolutely batshit proposed three strikes rule for violent crimes, in which someone could kill two people and still legally be allowed to own guns.
