Is he a career criminal? The article sure doesn't convince me of that. And in any case, once you serve your time, you should get your rights back, all of them. If a criminal is too dangerous to live as a free man, keep him inside or kill him. And in a just society, punishments should be proportional and fair for any given act, which this is not.

Making a large class of subcitizens seems to me to be really stupid public policy.

Is he a career criminal?

Yes. He was convicted under the Armed Career Criminal Statute. He is lucky to be in PA. In CA it would be his third strike.
