There should be a way for felons to get their franchise restored, but it should not be quick or easy.

In some states ... do your time, pay any debt ... you're cool

There's only one that stays screwed up... the forbiddance to own a gun.

“There should be a way for felons to get their franchise restored, but it should not be quick or easy.”

No there shouldn’t. The whole NICS travesty is justified by the idea the felons can never ever have access to a firearm ever again. If they can’t be trusted with a gun why should they be trusted to care enough about the society that they knowingly betrayed to be trusted with the power of a vote?

Felon enfranchisement is a vastly unfair and dengerous idea that only serves the purposes of the DNC, as most felons are Democrats. No on should ever support or propose such a thing.
