Would, say, keeping concealed carry from convicted felons be a "reasonable restriction"?

Of course it is. Rudy has gone far beyond this point in the past, however, and still seems ready to defend his actions. As an example of "reasonable", Florida isn't bad.
Any more would definetly be "unreasonable".
Rudy is totally scornful of the Constitution, on this issue.

I think it depends on the felony, and what the felon wants to do with the gun. Whey should someone who was convicted of a non-violent crime 30 years ago be any greater danger if they keep a weapon in their home for protection?

When possible, the crime should how the weapon is used, not who uses it.

I don't like any of Giuliani's politics (except for his tough law-enforcement credentials for going after crooks). However, I do know that he tends NOT to parse words. If he had meant "keeping guns out of the hands of criminals," he would have used words to that effect. If he says "reasonable restrictions," it means he is casting a broad net, and you, I, and every other legal gun-owner would be the target of said "reasonable restriction."
