My first thought was “Latin Kings”.

The problem is that it is we, the law-abiding, who end up paying the price in the form of draconian gun laws, intended to prevent felons from getting firearms, but instead empower thugs like the BATFE.

If the Founders intended to deny freed felons from keeping and bearing arms, they could easily have included that exception.

My guess is that such a law would have been unthinkable and unenforceable at the time. The Founders certainly would not have supported a federal system for accomplishing prior-restraint in the purchase of a firearm.
