An ex-felon, and anyone with a mental condition of which has been determined an impairment to proper mental judgment SHOULD be restricted from owning a device that has the potential to severely injure or kill another human being. That is common sense, and one would have to be out of their mind to disagree with this.

OK. So lets not judge any one to be mentally ill or a criminal just to be safe since the government likes to classify people's in these categories just so they can't own a gun?
EDIT: Added to go against your edit. Are you joking? Please tell me you are.

Here is the Second Amendment on The Right to Bear Arms:
A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
It states a WELL-REGULATED MILITIA. Meaning they can make laws limiting the rights of the mentally ill or convicted felons from carrying firearms.
I also want to state I support the right of everyone to bear arms and have done so in the past myself.
