I support shall not be infringedExactly. If we are going to go as far as to abolish or repeal all unconstitutional gun laws, then a former convict once they have completed their sentence should have all of their rights restored, including their right to bear arms as provided by the 2nd Amendment.
Last I checked, nothing in the 2nd Amendment has a provision for depriving anyone of their gun rights simply because they committed a criminal act. Only that they are deprived of any rights, if they are given due process of the law. IMO, that means only while they are sentenced, are they deprived of their gun rights, but once that sentence is completed, their rights are suppose to be restored as before.
I have always held the belief, that once a felon comes out of prison, all of their rights should be restored. If their is the belief or feeling that this person is so dangerous that they can not be trusted with a firearm in their possession, then logically I would believe maybe that they are too dangerous to be walking among us in society in the first place.
ETA:
So I don't believe we should be cherry-picking what parts of the gun laws we like and those we don't like. Either we live within what is already there, or we do away with all of them being unconstitutional.
Last I recall. if we restore the gun rights to a felon, and they commit a new criminal act using a gun, or not, that can be taken into consideration during sentencing for the new criminal act. And the simple fact is, "A Felon In Possession." law hasn't and never will keep a felon from getting a gun if they feel they need or want one. That's just some of that liberal anti-gun nonsense rearing it's head again.
