...I have no use for the provisions against violent felons as I believe they should be prohibited by virtue of the fact that they're in prison. If you're not a violent offender then why would you be prohibited?

Dishonorable discharge would depend on the reason.

Active drug use (above a legal limit), drunk and disorderly, DUI...(with convictions in court) all would, in my mind, be enough to suspend pending rehab, your right to own a firearm.

Fugitives, illegal aliens, Gitmo escapees, Martians, et al sorry for guns for you.

Folks adjudicated (in court) with mental issues have their right suspended. In addition, if you are judged in court as not competent to stand trial, you're in the same boat.
