Given how extremely minor infractions can result in some class of felony conviction these days it's high time 922(g)(1) is revised or tossed out. The 2nd Amendment is not a lessor Right, if felons still have 1st, 4th, 5th, etc, Amendment rights then they should have the 2nd as well. That means even those convicted of violent crimes should get all of their rights back too, if they are deemed too dangerous to own a gun legally then they should be kept locked up. Once released they get guns anyway so 922(g)(1) is just lip service and way to tack on another charge later.

Agree. If the State lets you out, you should have full rights restored.

Having your right to vote and own a firearm suspended indefinitely is part of the "paying your debt to society" in my opinion. There are mechanisms to petition the court to reinstate each of these rights if you've been out of jail for many years and never reoffended and got your shite together. Those rights are almost always reinstated in those cases.

its that simple, your rights dont just stop or start when they say so, any suspension of your rights while in prison must end when you have finished your time

frick that. Violent crime with a gun or armed robbery you should never be able to have a gun again.

Are we going to apply this to sex offenders and child molesters, letting them live anywhere they want without registering? Because that will be an issue down the line with this way of thinking.
I don't necessarily disagree with the felon firearm law being struck down, especially if you consider that we are seemingly incapable or unwilling to enforce anything to do with it. This will set a precedent, though, and we will have to deal with that down the line.

If you’re convicted of a gun crime, I think your right to carry firearms should be revoked.

Time in prison and all restitution.....I agree.
