I've always been against armed felons, particularly armed robbers, but this makes a good point. Because the 2nd amendment really is about controversial figures like Malcolm X defending themselves.

I might agree that those that commit violent crime such as rape. armed robbery, or aggravated assault should be restricted; but, what about non-violent felons - should their civil rights be curtailed? If, after completely finishing their sentence, a released felon is too unsafe to allow to vote, qualify for a professional license, or own a gun, how are they safe enough to release into society at all?
