I think certain felony SEC violations do not impact your ability to own guns.
For example, I think Martha Stewart can still own guns.

OTOH, I think those folks with felony SEC violations, if they were restricted from buying a gun, would/should they also be restricted from buying say the Remington Company (now in bankruptcy) as a whole?
