I disagree with any legislative disablement of any right, including the
RKBA. The Fifth Amendment requires judicial due process, which means a
court order on a petition to disable the right. It does not work to
disable some rights in a court order, then have a statute disable other
rights because those first rights were disabled. Each disablement of
each right must be separately and explicitly petitioned, argued, and
decided. Otherwise, the legislature or Congress could make it a capital
crime to possess something if one had been convicted of spitting on the
sidewalk. That would be a violation of due process.
