I never knew that any governor of any state had the right to grant felons voting rights and keep them from owning guns at the same time.

And I seriously doubt that had a Republican Governor in Virginia attempted to restore, in a carte blanche fashion, the right to bear arms to felons, that this Republican Governor would be hailed as courageous. Said Republican would be resoundingly condemned by the little old ladies of both sexes in the anti-gun crowd/MSM. But Governor McAuliffe? Why, just yesterday received a civil rights award for his "courage": http://www.nbc29.com/story/33456128/mcauliffe-receives-swanson-courage-award-for-voting-rights-decision.
Galling yes, but hardly surprising.
Terry McAuliffe doesn't give a rat's rear end about these felons. He restored thousands of felons' right to vote solely for Hillary's benefit. To believe otherwise is just plain stupid. To believe that McAuliffe did this for the benefit of the felons is to indulge in sophistry of galactic proportions.
