Do medical marijuana patients still have the right to speak as they wish, read what they want and go to church? Are these people allowed to peacefully assemble, are they immune from illegal search and seizure? Can the military arbitrarily decide to quarter troops in their homes? Do they have the right to a jury trial of their peers?

Do felons who have paid their debt to society still have the right to speak as they wish, read what they want and go to church? Are these people allowed to peacefully assemble, are they immune from illegal search and seizure? Can the military arbitrarily decide to quarter troops in their homes? Do they have the right to a jury trial of their peers?

Or is it only the 2nd Amendment that appears to be arbitrarily granted or denied?

Not only 2nd amendment rights, but the right to vote.

I think that all those freed from prison and not on parole should have all their rights restored. If they are too dangerous to be allowed their rights, they still should be incarcerated.

Felons, have been convicted of committing an egregious crime.
Under federal law, convicted felons lose their firearm rights, which is a decision that stemmed from a law developed in 1934. At that time, the federal government mandated that no person convicted of a felony involving violence would be able to have his or her firearm rights restores.Linky

Thus they "allegedly" lose both their right to vote, as well as bear arms. Depending upon their offense, they may lose certain other "rights" such as the freedom to freely associate. Consider a convicted sex-offender may be prohibited from living within some distance of minors. These are established legal findings, not the arbitrary sentencing of a judge who feels that he can make up laws as he goes along.
