you are mistaken. Many states have a process whereby a convicted felon can have all rights restored, including the possession of firearms.

Name one and show me the law. More importantly, show me a case whee it has been done.

NYT 11-14-2011 article entitled “Felons Finding It Easy To Regain Gun Rights” lists specific individual felons and the states they live in where they had their 2A rights restored.

Arizona for example:
Where are Arizona’s laws about expungement and setting aside a conviction?

Arizona does not presently have an ‘expungement’ statute. The laws about setting aside a conviction are presently found in A.R.S. §§ 13-904 – 912 . A.R.S. § 13-907 permits a person convicted of a felony to request a “set aside” of a felony conviction under certain circumstances. The statutes use the term “set aside the judgment.” An application to have your conviction set aside may use the language “vacate judgment and dismiss charges.” In this situation, “setting aside a conviction,” means the same thing as “vacating judgment and dismissing the charges.”

Texas (which is automatic after 5 years, allows possession in the home):
Texas Penal Code 46.04

§ 46.04. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM. (a) A person
who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he
possesses a firearm:
(1) after conviction and before the fifth anniversary
of the person’s release from confinement following conviction of
the felony or the person’s release from supervision under community
supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is
later; or
(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at
any location other than the premises at which the person lives.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
