The Lautenberg amendment is unique in that it removes a right without criminal conviction.

I don't think that it quite right. The Lautenberg amendment requires a conviction, but it can be a MISDEMEANOR domestic violence conviction, it does not require a FELONY conviction.
Lautenberg is unique in that, and in other ways. Not requiring a Felony conviction before stripping Constitutional rights, not exempting military or police on duty, and being
ex post facto (retroactive).
I don't know why this law hasn't been challenged, and challenged repeatedly until repealed, but, it's still on the books....
