It is doubtful that the felons stripped of certain rights as a price of their crimes would rather be either dead or in the joint. I’m sure the Second Best solution is preferred aren’t you?

No. Precisely because that way leads to injustice; particularly insidious is the [philosophical] assumptions that normalization of the practice forces one to accept [albeit unconsciously].
This secondary class of citizen is particularly abominable because otherwise Constitutionally guaranteed rights now become dependent upon the government. Or, to put it into another light, was it right for the Branch Davidians to be denied their rights [1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th]? -- Especially after the Waco incident, as there were constant justification of the federal response via allegation of pedophilia/polygamy, i.e. "the seriousness of the charge" apparently makes the need for one to be informed of the nature of the accusation, or a trial, or their lives & liberty being taken w/o trial, or the ability to petition the government for redress in the actually presented charges (making full-auto firearms, particularly WRT tax-law)?

The two are really the same thing in their natures.

You are silly to believe the ex-cons would rather be in the joint than walking around without the ability to own a gun.
Who could take you seriously?

The rest of your post seems to be nothing but babble.
