The issue is denial of firearms for violent felons.

Many felony crimes are not that nature, but the law says they should be punished by denying voting and owning firearms.

But it's irrelevant what the felony was. If they have completed the full terms of their repayment to society, then why are this still considered to be less of a citizen? If they have been fully released (not on parole, actually released), then they should be a full citizen. If they can't be trusted with their return of their rights, then why can they be trusted to be released from jail?

I never said the application of that the law was fair.

I know a person who at 19 was convicted of a felony for check forgery. He was caught in the middle of a divorce. The husband had asked him to cash checks for him and to sign his name.

The divorce was bitter and the truth never made court, although the husband told others he asked him to do it.

He is still a felon. Almost 15 years have passed, but the State of Texas statute for removal of a felony is 20 years.

Just? It depends.
