Felons surrender their enumerated right to own a gun, by being felons. So what is different except a large number of Democrat constituencies are felons or ex-felons.

The nicest words I can think of to describe this ruling are Strained, Thin, and Unthoughtful.

This comes from somebody in favor of extending voting rights to former felons.(If they aren’t rehabilitated enough to give them franchise then why are they out walking free? They have either paid debt to society or shouldn’t be active in it.)

I think the opening statement goes too far. It should read:

“One of the biggest annoyances to the Left in recent years has been the Constitutional right of states.”
