In response to your post,because of a computer error made in Washington state claiming that I did not pay a speeding ticket while on active duty at Ft. Lewis (which) I did!....after my active duty I was driving in Florida with my Massachusetts drivers license and my (in-state) Florida license ...I get pulled over for running a yellow/red light and informed that my license is suspended ??? ...for an unpaid traffic ticket in ...Washington state....before I got the state to remove the mistake IT made I received two more driving on a suspended license citations which Florida just made a FELONY....it took me SIX years to get the felony removed even after Florida rescinded the clarification ...so a felony is not what it used to be ...I voted anyway...what sotoreo is doing is lawless like every other action he has done...when will you freepers ( i being one ) learn that since bush senior it is a true free for all in our republic with now blatant pilfering and corruption the norm...after someone has served their sentence (except for murder/child abuse) they should have the right to vote.
I disagree. While in prison or on probation/parole, I'm okay with the denial of the right to vote and the right to keep and bear arms. Once an individual is no longer under the supervision of the criminal justice system, I would like to see all of that individual's rights restored. If it won't be safe to release a murderer after 20 years under that condition, then the murderer should be sentenced to a longer sentence. The notion that it's okay to release a murderer who is not safe with guns rests on a delusion that a violent criminal will obey gun laws.
