but at what point do they lose their right to directly participate in the process of voting for their elective representatives? actually, you're right. i haven't really thought about it.

hell, women couldn't even vote until a mere 90 years ago!

but you're right again in that many poor minorities, let alone felons, don't vote. and where they DO vote, democrats would win anyway.

all i know is that my job would be a lot easier if normal citizens could carry guns in large cities. it has been shown that imprisoned felons do worry about armed victims and it does stop them from committing crimes.

I agree 100%. Unarmed citizens are an easy mark when the criminal is armed.
