The way I see it is...if they still can’t be trusted with a firearm after serving their time and paying their debt to society, they should either serve another term or be executed.

I think I follow: Those who are going to commit another felony with a gun will find a way to get one. Those who aren't...

...was it not the case that until 1968(?) that ex-cons could own guns?

I agree the 2nd ammendment says nothing about being a felon and owning a gun. I admit a convicted felon could mean anything. There are plenty of felonies that are committed that do not involve a firearm. So here is a scenario I just stole several thousands from a retirement fund but no weapons was used am I excempt from owning a firearm?
But if I rob a bank,convenient store yes I should be prohibited from owning one.
