You haven't paid your debt while you are INCARCERATED.

Hmm, something not clear here? I will try again.

Those (Individuals convicted of a felony) who have paid the court imposed debt to society (After, past tense, as in NO LONGER incarcerated) should have the same rights (identical, alike, own a firearm) as any other person (Non-former felon individuals).

Better?

Much better, thanks.
