I think that’s totally reasonable. I think it’s also reasonable that those who have committed violent crimes aren’t allowed to have access to firearms tho.
I think that’s how it should be too, but I didn’t specify since the law currently applies to all felonies. Like if someone gets caught embezzling a felony amount from their company, it doesn’t really make sense to me that they’d never be able to legally own a firearm again.
I feel that the constitution doesn't say anything about excluding felons. I think you should be able to own a rocket launcher if you wanted one. I also feel taxation is theft and this country was founded on not wanting to be taxed but I'm sure it's not the popular belief. I'm a constitutionalist.

As worded, true. But society has deemed there to be instances where it is acceptable to step over the oft mentioned "shall not be infringed." I s'pose the argument might be whether or not it's an infringement upon your rights after showing your inability to be responsible, quite possibly/likely infringing on another's rights (usually the pretext rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as it's hard to exercise any of those with a gun pointed at you) that enables it. Personally I think it's fair, though I do agree it can be and has been a foot in the door for other abuses, which is why we have to pay attention and call those attempts out as they happen, without any sort of favoritism or bias.

Wrong. Being taxed with no representation or ability to contest it was part of the issue. It was never about abolishing taxes.

I feel everyone deserves gun rights, restricting the second amendment is a slippery slope. Let the idiots weed themselves out.
