"Thanks to not issuing a full pardon these two men can't even legally hunt with a firearm much less be law enforcement officers again. As convicted felons I doubt they can vote either."

Sadly, you're probably right. Convicted felons voting is up to each state individually I believe. I just hope that they are able to find jobs to be able to support their families.

To petition for restoration of their rights, they'd have to apply to the court that handed down their convictions, in this case federal district court. Presumably after Sutton is no longer U.S. Attorney.

Since firearms were involved, it's doubtful that the court would restore their 2A rights -- just at a guess.
