if they did their time they deserve to vote again
any country that fears the vote of released prisoners is imprisoning too many people
What about their gun rights? Unlike voting, that is a constitutional right and yet federal law bans all felons from having guns.

jan 4 2019House Democrats unveiled details of a sweeping federal elections reform package Friday that, if enacted, would immediately restore voting rights to convicted felons who have completed their prison sentences nationwide.
The bill, titled the “For the People Act,” would also mandate automatic voter registration nationwide for eligible voters that provide information to state government agencies such as the DMV.
The bill holds that “the right of an individual who is a citizen of the United States to vote in any election for Federal office shall not be denied or abridged because that individual has been convicted of a criminal offense.”
Convicted felons who have served their sentence or are sentenced to serve “only a term of probation” would have their voting rights restored, but those incarcerated at the time of an election would be barred from voting.

How long were you in prison?
"3 IN 4 FORMER PRISONERS IN 30 STATES ARRESTED WITHIN 5 YEARS OF RELEASE APRIL 22, 2014
WASHINGTON – An estimated two-thirds (68 percent) of 405,000 prisoners released in 30 states in 2005 were arrested for a new crime within three years of release from prison, and three-quarters (77 percent) were arrested within five years, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) announced today.
More than a third (37 percent) of prisoners who were arrested within five years of release were arrested within the first six months after release, with more than half (57 percent) arrested by the end of the first year.
These findings are based on a BJS data collection, Recidivism of State Prisoners Released in 2005, which tracked a sample of former prison inmates from 30 states for five years following release in 2005."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Just a question dog...
Back just after I graduated from HS, a friend/classmate was "set up" (by an asshole who was busted for DUI) and sold a 1/4 lb. of weed (a felony) to an informant. He did a stint in prison and after his release he got a job at a service station, married, had 2 kids and ultimately bought his own auto repair shop (which he still operates today). Other than maybe a speeding ticket or two, hasn't been arrested for anything since.
My question is, should that be held against him for the remainder of his life? Should I turn him in for owning a few guns he inherited from his father?
Myself, back when I was 20, I got busted for eluding a police officer (back then it wasn't a felony, today it is). I've had 2 minor traffic violations since (running a stop sign and speeding). If it was a felony back then, I probably couldn't have landed 1 or 2 of the good jobs I've had, become a very successful hunter, firearms instructor or bought the military rifles I used in hi-power rifle competitions.
My point is, not all felons are violent or repeat offenders, many do learn from their mistakes and become productive citizens. Do you think there should be a "time line" where someone can prove their "worth" to regain their rights? Myself, I think they should.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Should they get their 2nd Amendment rights back as well? Should they be allowed to walk into any store and purchase a gun?
For example, Tyrone Smith is convicted and sentence to 5 years for felony assault of his pregnant girlfriend and kills her unborn baby. He serves 10 years in prison and gets out.
Do you believe that he should get back both his voting rights AND his gun rights?
I believe he should get back both.
PS
I know you give him bonus points for killing the unborn baby. Nice touch right?
felons are an important part of the demmycrat base.......
