Let's say corruption overtakes the government and weaponizes the law to make felons out of the population (cannabis comes to mind: benign, ubiquitous, anti-BigPharma; maybe not taking your mandatory vax in the future?). Now, corruption has a way to deny the people the right to self-defense by creating laws and labeling the new convicts as "felons". "Felon", without inspecting the crime, is a scare-label like "terrorist"; meaningless and used strategically. The 2A is clear: shall not be infringed. It protects us against weaponized law. The US government cannot infringe upon the people's right to self defense at all; not even if they are "felons".
