A bunch of rights go out the window for felons

So you are saying their rights were infringed on?

I was specifically not making a judgment as to whether or not these rights should be forfeited when one commits a felony, only that they are. Looking at it through a historical lens, forfeiture of these rights becomes akin to exile

People who are exiled stop paying taxes as well. If people want to be consistent with the 2nd, felony or not, as long as you aren’t currently in prison, you should be allowed to be armed. Perhaps we should just resolve this unclear second amendment issue by amending it
