Please show me where in the Constitution it says that once a convicted felon you can never have your rights restored? The whole idea originally was that once you had “paid your debt to society” you were again restored to full rights. You can argue over weather you agree or not but it is not in the Constitution to continue to deny any rights after one has completed there sentence. Now before all you folks get all up in arms, let me say that I like the idea of convicted felons not owning firearms and not voting, I spent 30 years in law-enforcement, but I can not find continued denial in the Constitution.
