AND MY GUNS ?
If voting rights are to be restored to felons that have paid their dues, so should second amendment rights.
Being a convicted felon shouldn't lose you your rights forever, at least for the first time. Once you're out, you still have the right to defend yourself.
With that said, if your rights are restored and you commit another felony, I think you ought to be gone forever.
And this is not new thinking on my part. I've felt this way for a long time.
