as a libertarian who believes ones rights are endowed by their creator, no one is entitled to deny those rights of which, the right to keep and bear arms is one.
if a violent felon is allowed to be released into society haing paid his debt, all rights are included...
if there is a question of his violent nature, than perhaps a rethinking of sentencing should be instituted, if i am a rhabilitated felon i will carry to protect myself... it should not be a crime, using the gun in a crime should carry severe jail time...
just my thoughts

Well, what you say is true, but by current law a convicted felon is prohibited from even touching a firearm, so by carrying, you would be "using the gun in a crime [which] should carry severe jail time" ;)
Mind you, if the Miller case was about the sawed off shotgun not being a militia weapon, then the AWB is doubly unconstitutional - but there hangs a tale for another day...
