Every and all kinds of convictions will never negate or nulify consituional rights. A criminal still keeps 100% of consituional rights. No law restricts a constituional right.
Criminals do not keep all their constitutional rights, when they are incarcerated they are not free to move about or posses many things. Felons on probation are not allowed to associate with other felons.
That isn’t true. A felon can’t vote in many jurisdictions. They can’t own a gun. They can’t run for certain offices. There are many things a felon can’t do.
And I reject all of that. I say a felon can still vote, hold office, and own guns. When I find out a convict has firearms or guns, I do not report them because I protect their eternal right to own guns, unrestricted, regardless of a record.

There is more to this than guns. This is about losing constitutional rights over a minor conviction.

Domestic violence is not minor. Jfc.

A misdemeanor conviction is a minor conviction. A serious crime is a felony.

And after they have been released from incarceration, I treat them as still posessing every and all constituional rights.
