The ancillary question to this debate is: who is going to pay for it? If the law is amended to allow certain classes of convicted felons to retain their 2A right while denying other convicted felons the same right, then a very large database will need to be created and maintained to record exactly which felon is on which side of the law. Records from every criminal court jusrisdiction, to include local, state and Federal, will need to be screened and entered, monitored, and amended as necessary. For example, if a person is convicted of a non-violent felony in one jurisdiction then moves to another jurisdiction, the records will need to be updated to reflect the new address. Then let's say that that person commits another felony, also non-violent. Records updated again. Then the person commits a felony that does require the abrogation of 2A rights. Records updated again. And this database will need to be accessible 24/7 to every law enforcement agency in the US, and has to have a real live person monitoring a telephone to confirm the information, the same as arrest warrants. Think of the number of courts in the US and the amount of cases tried every year, either through plea bargains, trials, deferred adjudications, etc. Then think of the number of law enforcement agencies across the US, from local, county, school district, colleges, hospitals, state police, Federal agencies with arrest powers, etc. Obviously this will necessitate personnel and equipment to set up and maintain. It will of necessity be a governmental function, which means that the cost will be borne by taxpayers. So, which of you is willing to pay more taxes to defray the cost?
