Ah, but a bunch of FReepers chime in whenever there's some legislation to restore voting rights to convicted felons. They say not ONLY is that a GOOD idea, we should make sure to restore gun rights to them as well. It's not "fair" to punish them for life after they did their time and "paid their debt to society" and were released back into the public to restart their lives. So let's promptly give this violent psychopath a .44 magnum and a voter ID card!
I agree with your post where the felony was related to violence, but not where it is a process crime...
In my view, 2A applies to everyone so unless dude is on probation I don’t see how it’s proper to violate his rights no matter what he did in the past. If he’s a violent psycho he should be dead or still in prison. I suppose you could do lifetime probation or something, but again my preference is the person who would need lifetime probation and is so horrible that him having a pistol is something that can’t be contemplated, shouldn’t be free/alive. As we see the prohibition of gun ownership is meaningless anyway since that sort of person can and will obtain a fireman illegally.
Voting should be a privilege. I support banning felons from voting for the simple reason the majority of them would rat. I don’t care whether that’s fair or not, we are at war with the left and must use all tools at our disposal. My deepest condolences to decent people with tax evasion convictions who can’t vote. If we can selectively ban rat demographic type crimes only, great.
Well, in my idea of a civilized society, this cretin had already provided ample evidence he shouldn’t be allowed to live among us. And ultimately, he proved that judgment to be correct.
