[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2997733, member: 5391"] I tend to agree with Dave here, since this has been my position for a long time. There are no absolute rights. This does not mean that the RKBA is not an individual right; much like life liberty and property. These are rights as well. But you can lose them if you are convicted of a crime. So, why, given this, can you not also lose your RKBA as well? Personally, this what I'd do. If the person is a first-time, nonviolent offender, restore all of their rights as soon as their period of supervision is up, For a second conviction, restore them five years after the period is up. For a third conviction or for conviction of a violent crime, no restoration unless the governor grants it. Granted, this would not be likely to satisfy you, because you seem to see yourself as a constitutional purist, (and there is something to be said for that) but I don't see this as a constitutional issue; rather I see it as one of pragmatism.
