OK, let me back up and slip into a Thought group you may get...
If they (the convicted) are NO longer serving the Sentence that a Jury of their Peers, and a Judge decreed that was to be served as Punishment for their Crimes. Then give them back their Rights.
What Part of RIGHTS don't you understand?!
Once a person serves their time, they have "paid their debt to society" and should get a clean slate. If they are not able to fit into society, to contribute and behave themselves, they should have either been put down in the first place or still be locked up, depending upon what their crime was and their current state.
Chalk up another definitely.
Thats a real nice holier than thou art attitude you got there.You've got to question the intelligence and moral character of anyone that gets convicted of a felony in the first place. And if you have reason to question their intelligence and character, you have reason to question if they should be allowed have a firearm.
Nobody outside of a prison should have his gun rights extinguished.
Sure glad those old guys gave us that bill of revocable privileges subject to the whim of bureaucrats.
Ha!
Every man who signed the Declaration of Independence committed a FELONY.
Good luck, I work with a few guys that was where you are it worked out good for them. The best thing is you got a clean record since then. Wish you luck.I voted yes if a non violent felony.
Because thats me, Im trying to get my rights back right now.
I got a 2nd DUI in a span of 5 yrs in 1996. No accident no injury's
got pulled over for speeding and blew .10 when the law was .10.
Never did it again. never arrested for anything since.
If you think someone like me shouldnt own a gun, well u can
kiss my ass!!
Also 6 yrs active duty in the USAF 84 to 90, so Ive had some training.

I'd sure be interested in knowing how many here advocating permanent revocation of rights have lived the perfect life that they insist everyone else must live.
Myself, not proud of it, but I did some things in my youth that, had I been caught, would put me in the 2nd class citizen zone many here so happily want maintained at all costs.
So how about it, where are the perfect people? I know one, in Spirit, but have yet to met any this plane of existence..
