This is why when you are a convicted felon, you should lose your civil rights such as the right to vote and the right to own a gun. There is no good reason why a convicted violent felon should be anywhere near ownership or possession of a gun. The state has an obligation to protect me from enemies foreign and domestic. Schoonover is a domestic enemy.

The story is silent as to the actual amount of time Schoonover served in Oregon state prison for the murder. I’ll be it was no more than 50% of his 15 year stretch.

The article is also silent as to whether the state of Oregon has any intention of prosecuting him for being in possession of a stolen vehicle, which the federal charges didn’t cover.

First, there is no Right to vote, at least in a federal election.

Too, when a person has paid his penalty according to his sentencing .. he, or she should have every ‘right’ returned to them just like everyone else!

You need to read up on and understand how our constitution works!

The constitution doesn’t bestow Rights on it’s people, those are God given.

The constitution is a Restriction on government powers/control!

Neither the Congress, the States, nor Judges have the Constitutional authority to create, make-up or pass laws that “infringe” upon the 2nd amendment!

That makes you a second-class citizen in your own country.
