Convicted and still in prison murders, rapists and terrorists should still have the ability to vote.

    Sounds good. Citizens should have the right to vote. And most felons aren’t rapists, murderers, and terrorists by the way but bad faith pearl clutching is your thing.

    Felons lose their rights. it's how it is under the rule of law.

    You also in favor of giving convicted murderers the right to bear arms, too?

    Don't like it - change the laws.

    They should lose some rights. But they interact with the government more closely than most in our society and should have the chance to vote.

    Of course I don’t think violent felons should be legally allowed to own a weapon.

    We treat our prisoners like shit in this country. Part of the reason why is because they have no voice in the political process. Prison is a punishment but our goal should be rehabilitation. Allowing prisoners to stay connected to society could be beneficial.

    83% of released prisoners are arrested again within 9 years. We are and the system is failing them. We should start by treating them like human beings.


    It’s also pretty funny to contrast this with the rights stance on gun control. Even the smallest measure of gun control will end with everyone’s gun rights being taken away (still waiting on Obama to take your guns away) but oh yeah chip away at voting rights, what could go wrong.

    You do understand the difference between questions (see the squiggly thing that looks like this '?') and quotes (which look like this ' " " ') ???

    Why? They chose not to adhere to the laws of the land. When they've paid their dues to society, they get to play again. Pretty simple.

    Do you give out the juice boxes at half time or wait until the game is over?

    Right

    No rights except the right to vote for demcrats

    JFC

    If its important to restore rights to make them part of society then they should have all rights restored

    Or none

    Some truth here but they have either failed themselves or their family failed them long before society got a chance
