Are we preventing felons (once criminals are convicted; I don't believe in infringing rights until they've been judged as guilty of a crime) from being a part of the militia, too?

As convicted felons may not own firearms (in most cases), it would be difficult for them to fill a valuable role in the militia as I (and I believe the founders) understand it.
