If a man pays his debt to society, he should have the same rights as everyone else. I could see withholding gun rights if he was still on parole or something like that.
Treating people like 2nd class citizens or monsters is a big reason why many reoffend. If you expect more of people then they will live up to it.

Sorry I don't have links at my fingertips ready to go. It's human nature. If you allow a person back into society then he has the opportunity to live like everyone else. If you banish him, then he goes to the criminal subculture. If you treat him differently, then every strike against him is motivation to leave regular society.
You can say "we want him to reform" all day long. If you don't let him reintegrate, then good luck with that.
