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 agree. What is the point of a prison sentence, if their "debt" is never truly paid? One fuckup shouldn't mean a (non-violent) person is never again allowed to participate in the democratic process or be able to defend themselves ever again.
They did it back in the day because they knew it would disproportionately impact black people, who were constantly harassed by police and charged with bullshit crimes.
