When in the US did convicted criminals who served their time lose the right to keep and bear arms?

[FONT=q_serif]According to this it was GCA 1968
[/FONT][FONT=q_serif]1117. Restrictions on the Possession of Firearms by Individuals Convicted of a Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence
[/FONT][FONT=q_serif]The Founders discussed that felons should not be allowed while hammering out the Bill of rights. It is unclear to me whether they thought that serving the sentence renewed rights or not.
[/FONT][FONT=q_serif]The Founders’ Second Amendment
[/FONT][FONT=q_serif]Stephen Halbrook covers the subject matter thoroughly.

It is interesting that Haynes got off the charges against him because this was made law. Thanks for the question. I had never realized before that he would have gone to jail, had they not made it law.[/FONT]
