Do you feel that Dinesh D'Souza, "convicted felon", should be denied the Rights of a free man for the rest of his life? Yes or no?

Maybe you can point out where Dinesh D'Souza was doing all the "Raping and Murdering" - or was that just your usual hyperbole?

He IS a "convicted felon", after all...

What I think his sentence should be has no impact on whether it is constitutionally allowable or not. But you know what is relevant?

Is depriving convicted felons the rights of free men unconstitutional?

Yes or No?

He answered the question in the affirmative, best I can tell. He says he covered the ground already. D’Souza is a felon, check. Part of the sentence is being stripped of the right to keep and bear arms for the rest of his life, check. Yep, all the parts are there. I don’t see any analysis any deeper than those points. Felon is a yes/no. If felon yes, then stripped of right to keep and bear arms for life. Very simple to follow.

I can see that this question frightens you quite a bit, so I'm going to give you a free primer on how an answer might go for you.

Is depriving convicted felons the rights of free men unconstitutional?

kiryandil: “Yes”

So no punishment for any crime. That's insane and will destroy the country over night. There is no reasoning with that kind of naive stupidity. Goodnight.

kiryandil: “No”

So, you agree that a duly elected legislature, empowered by the people to make laws can restrict the rights of felons and determine the period of those restrictions, including life-terms?

kiryandil: “Yes”

Thanks for wasting everyone’s time this evening with your senseless hissy fit, only to admit that you don't have any logical argument.
