My father can’t own a gun or vote simply because of a DUI many years ago. We are far too quick to take people’s rights. Once out from under sentence, all rights should be restored.
We’ve also become quick to make everything a felony for the express purpose of taking their rights.
What happened to the concept of no taxation without representation? If a person isn’t allowed the fully rights of a citizen, why should they feel any responsibility to our society?
Same here with my brother. No vote/no guns because of a DUI which he served time for/went to rehab for. (One of the DUI’s occurred when he was SITTING in his car in his own driveway- shrew ex-wife called the cops). Thankfully he is recovered and helping others through AA. In the meantime, he can’t vote or own a gun. But illegals can do both.
