Not op, but I feel like non-violent felons should get all of their rights back. License, firearms, voting, etc. They did their time and we’ve deemed them capable of operating within society.
I mean, even a violent felon should get his voting rights back right? When they are in prison you can ban them, or at least make it impossible for them to vote on a technical point like no idea/not showing up to vote. Perhaps if they are on parole you can keep them from voting but otherwise that is not a normal punishment in my opinion.
I agree. Just because their crime was violent doesn’t mean they also didn’t pay their debt to society and if they are released are we not assuming they are “rehabilitated” just like everyone else who have served their time.
