While the knee-jerkers will go to town on you, let me state my agreement.
A person who has served his time should have all his rights restored, voting and gun rights included. The existence of a growing class of rump non-citizen citizens only further serves to detach the government from the will of the people and encourage it to proliferate even more laws to strip these rights.
If they’re rights, they’re rights. Citizens without rights are something no conservative should countenance.
I mostly agree. See my #22.
