Conviction is all about loss of civil rights.


Freedom is the most basic natural and civil right. Surely you don't think a convict has the right to bear arms. Your point is more about how much of one's rights should be restored, and when. Parole is a partial restoration of civil rights. Partial. I don't think parolees should have the right to bear arms or to vote. Eventually, I think the right to vote should be restored. But the right to bear arms? Probably depends on the crime.

After all, certain crimes bring permanent forfeiture of one's freedom. Or in some instances, one's life.
