felons should not be able to vote or own guns. Period. I don’t think pedphiles, drug dealers, murderers, and rapists should have a voice in government. I would restore their RTKBA before I would let them have sway over our legislative bodies.
Why should they be out of prison, then?
“felons should not be able to vote or own guns.”
I have an associate who runs a public utility, a couple towns away. Been running it for 20 years. Three kids. Devoted family man. Got busted with a bag of pot 35 years ago. Felony. 2 years probation. Hasn’t even had a parking ticket since then. He should be able to vote, and be able to protect himself and his family.
You choose to seize the basic rights of citizens because you don’t trust them. Think about who else the govenment can choose not to trust.
I’m well aware that most of them will vote dem, but we don’t have a right to seize their vote because we don’t agree with them.
