Holder wants the Court to rule that way, but no such right exists or should exists. What's funny is seeing a whole bunch of self-professed conservatives taking up Holder's mantle of felon's rights, just because this particular issue concerns guns. This is a legal nose under the camel's tent -- once felons have a right to guns then they can use this as precedent to win "rights" to everything else. However the Constitution is clear -- you can lose ALL rights if you're convicted of a crime. That's stated pretty plainly in the 5th Amendment.
