That depends. "Ex-felon" seems to be a very commonly misused term on this website. Are there felony convictions on your record which have not been overturned? If the answer to this question is yes, you are NOT an 'ex-'felon - you are still a felon. Just because you're not longer state property, it doesn't change your status as a felon.
Under federal law, a FELON may not purchase, be in possession of, or have access to a firearm. Which means you can't be around them, period, regardless of whether or not it's in your possession.

Who can take away gun violence?
No one. As long as there are people and guns, there will be gun violence. Always. All that can be done is that action can be taken to mitigate the effects of people having guns. There are ideas around (that have been around a looooong time) that include restrictions on gun ownership, harsh penalties for possession, even more harsh for possession during a crime (enhancements), and a swift and sure execution for those who commit murder with a gun. Nothing new here.
