Suit over gun ownership by pardoned felons

Posted by David Hardy · 30 April 2010 01:21 PM

Story here. I'd guess that the legislature forbade ownership by anyone convicted of a felony, and forgot to insert an exception for ones who are pardoned. If that's the case, there may be an interesting separation of powers question. If the State constitution gives the governor the power to pardon, can the legislature interfere with the normal effects of that?

I have always wondered what part of the Constitution gives the government the power to remove the rights of anyone? A right that is protected by one of the 10 amendments can not be taken away by any law, because the law is invalid the second it conflicts with the constitution.
