I have said more than once on RP that I believe that once a person had completed their sentence - whether that is one month of probation or 60 tears of prison - their full and complete rights should be restored.
If you don't want that violent felon to have a gun, then keep him in prison. Or on probation.

I've always thought that what the conviction was for than just the term felon. There are a boatload of felony charges out there, and 90% of them are non-violent.
In my opinion, drug felons should lose their ability to purchase weapons. Violent criminals, certain levels of domestic abuse, etc should lose that right.
Do they have the right of self defense? Yes, which makes ALL of the history of keeping felons from purchasing weapons corrupted.
Hunter Biden is a starting point to removing that block, and it's going to be a slippery slope before the statutes are rewritten. It's going to be a hellacious hit on the gun control lobby too. They want to free felons and reduce incarceration rates, but those same people will be able to buy a gun as soon as they hit the streets if this continues.
There will be liberal heads exploding for the incarceration releases and going the other way for gun violence, and the grown ups on the conservative side. and probably the NRA will have to write laws that will be constitutional for both situations that will hold through Supreme Court review.
