“If we consider a person to have served his time (paid his debt to society) then he should get ALL of his rights back or he is not fit for society and should not be released.”
Perhaps there should be some type of review board to review cases if someone wants his rights back. However, I would not arbitrarily give all convicted felons their rights back. That encompases a lot of bad guys I don’t want to see legally allowed to own firearms or vote for that matter.
Not trying to be a jerk but I do belive that we removed any possibility of having "partial citizens" from the constitution.
Maybe a law that says after completion of your sentence and "X" years (say 5) without arrest you get all rights retored automatically.
How about seeing them legally allowed to own cars, knives, gasoline, matches and baseball-bats?
