Should they be able to own guns?
I ask because them being able to vote is all the rage now.
Shouldn't we be consistent in policy? Meaning all rights restored?
Indeed. I probably should have clarified. Some think parole isnt part if a sentence lolShould they be able to own guns?

It would be the WHOLE sentence, including any parole or post release supervision. Only then could they be given full rights back.
i still go with no....all rights should not be restored... are guns a right or a fucking privilege ...i think voting is a right and owning a gun is a privilege
That's a bit of a stretch don't you think? I can easily see how owning a gun can lead to a guy with a history of violence committing a violent act with that gun. I can easily see how opening an daycare can lead to a phedophile abusing children again. I don't really see how voting can lead to a criminal act. Can you?Umm they are voting on public safety. And many other things that impact everyone.I don't really know, seems something that you need to look at in a case by case bases.
I don't see how you can universally state that a felon should have his rights fully restored.
You give the example of guns, I'll give the examples of phedophiles. Should someone convicted of something like that be allowed to own a daycare center for instance. I would argue it's a safety issue to not allow it.
Same can be said for gun ownership. Someone with a history of violence no. A guy jailed for a non-violent crime... Probably. The thing is voting has no public safety questions. Gun ownership does.

Yes.
Once they have served their debt to society they should be given full rights back.
If they cannot be trusted with those rights, then they should not be let out of prison.
If we restore voting rights, we should restore all of them.Should they be able to own guns?
