What is "reasonable" about pretending that a law prohibiting possession of arms by felons will prevent the commission of other criminal acts by felons?
Perhaps you could point out a single case of a felony prevented by prohibiting keeping and bearing arms by felons. Just one.

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV so I can’t answer that question. I know that the 5th and 14th amendments are the basis for taking away civil liberties from convicted felons. Do you think that someone who has been convicted of selling guns to mexican drug lords should be allowed to buy weapons legally? You know make it easy for them?
I’m not particularly interested in the 2A rights of hardcore criminals. I’m interested in the 2A rights of law abiding U.S. citizens. There is certainly some murkiness in the laws. For instance, women who are angry with their husbands and in the process of getting a divorce getting some type of protection order against them. Thereby, the sherriff comes and takes away his firearms. I know that happens and its plain wrong. Women who do this should have some type of tangible proof that they have been threatened before they get these protection orders.
