"Enright was convicted of felony burglary 24 years ago when he was 17 years old. That is the basis for the "unlawful possession of a firearm" accusation."
That's bullcrap. If you're suitable to return to society then you should have your full rights restored to you. And he was stupid for calling the authorities.
I can't completely agree with that.
He had wounded a large dangerous animal that then ran away.
Morally, he had to notify someone so that the animal didn't go berserk on the next homo sapien he came across.
Was it sort of stupid because he had a felony at the age of 17? Well, yeh, but I respect the fact that he didn't just let a large, dangerous, wounded animal run loose to wreak havoc on some unsuspecting person.
Voting rights too?
Tell that to the NRA, which supports laws presently on the books, such as that one.
