The framers of the 2nd Amendment did not envision it as giving convicted felons an unfettered right to keep and bear arms.I disagree. The framers would have kept a person in prison if they were not fit to be set free in civil society. If they were fit to be free, they were also fit to keep and bear arms.

Too bad we can't return to the framers way of thinking and the individual liberty they enjoyed.

That a popular modern assertion, but I've never seen any evidence supporting it. Few jurisdictions even HAD prisons back then.
