beevul: First, convicted criminals by law, can not OWN a gun. So strike that from your little list there. We both know you weren't referring to those who have been pardoned when you said "criminals", so just save it mkay?

To own something does not necessarily mean you are the legal owner; - how I used the term 'owner' was simply possessive, and the author of the post in question has the final say, within reason, as to what he intended his word usage to mean & connote.
own•er —n. a person who owns; possessor; proprietor

Possessor: Law A person who takes, occupies, or holds something without necessarily having ownership, or as distinguished from the owner. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/possessor

Ergo, a gun 'owner' in that post is someone who possesses a gun, whether legal or illegal (tho I excluded young children due non compos mentis) which is why & how I could validly say a criminal gun owner. So go jump in a lake & soak your obnoxious head.
