Nope. If they aren't in prison they should have all rights. If they are so much a threat that can't own a firearm, why are they not in prison?

IMO, it has nothing to do with whether they continue to be a threat or not.

They simply made the conscious decision to sacrifice their right to bear firearms when they chose to commit a felony.

It is the lifelong punishment they have incurred, and their release from prison comes with that stipulation.

Now, considering the high rate of recidivism among those who commit felonies, if they are found to break that rule, they should face 20 to life.

Consider it a “lifelong parole” that they owe the rest of pleasant society.
