Personally, I believe that once a person has fully finished his sentence he should have all his rights restored. It’s not like laws banning convicted felons from owning guns ever stopped a felon from getting one.

Funny how the Left works hard to have felons voting rights automatically restored but felon gun rights...not so much. Makes sense since a person with lawless tendencies will gravitate towards the lawless party. (Here in Richmond we have many felons who get arrested again in possession of a firearm...go figure.)

I agree 100%!! What happened to the old saying, "He paid his debt to society?" I mean, if he is still a danger to society, then his butt will be killed or locked back up when he screws up - sorry to say, but he has the right to be an idiot and continue to do the things that might get him re-arrested!
But, as far as being an "ex-convict" causing you to loose all your rights - well, that is just STUPID! For some reason, our laws allow people to become "less human" once they have spent time behind bars! And for anyone that says, "Well he is a danger to society!" Well, so are all the criminals that have NOT been caught - so how do we remove their rights to gun's to keep us "safe?"
As a civilized society, we MUST allow people who have been convicted to re-assemble into a normal, law-abiding lifestyle, if we ever really expect them to truly change and become apart of our law-abiding society (IOW, we have to embrace them, if we expect them to embrace US!)!

Charles Manson and Ted the uni bomber agree.
