Hey, no fair using logic!! The State only restores a felons voting rights, and then only in Dem majority states.
But seriously, why not use the legislature to create an avenue for felons to have gun rights restored? Used judiciously it makes as much sense as restoring voting rights for political reasons.

If you ask me - ANYBODY that is out of prison should be able to own a gun, with the exception of the mentally ill. If they are “okay” enough to be out of prison, they are okay enough to own a gun.
And if they aren’t to be trusted with a gun, they shouldn’t be trusted to be out of prison. BTW - I wonder how many thugs that are released from prison go get a gun their first week out?
