Lots of “felonies” shouldn’t be felonies. Possessing an expended can of CS gas in Michigan (which used to be perfectly legal) is now charged as a felony.
Not saying the proposed bill is a good thing, but just making that one point.
“Lots of “felonies” shouldn’t be felonies.”
You are correct. It’s a lot easier these days to be a felon than 50 years ago. (no I’m not one)
For the same reason, not all felons should have their right to bear arms and right to vote removed. On second thought, I'll go a step farther than that. No felon who has been released should have those rights permanently removed.
If they are still "unworthy" of those rights, they should stay in jail.
