Wow, MSNBC must really be low on virtually anything substantive to lie, er, uh, talk about.
This shit is supremely funny.
Ex-felons permanently disenfranchised in some states - Video on NBCNews.com
Where do you stand on background checks for gun owners? Should felons be given access to a weapon but not a vote?
I am in favor of background checks for guns. IMHO, felons should have neither gun nor voting rights.

IMHO, any non-violent crime should not result in having your 2nd amendment rights taken away, and almost no crime should result in having your voting rights taken away. You can get a misdemeanor for driving drunk and a felony for selling marijauna. In my opinion, the person who couldn't responsibly use a motor vehicle should be the one not allowed to own a gun.

Fair enough, and I see valid points to your post. I certainly would be open to different positions on this if it ever came to be the "law of the land". How about this for some compromising?
Violent Crimes Felons: No gun rights and no voting rights.
Non-violent Crimes Felons: Gun rights and voting rights after serving their time and their parole satisfactorily.
3 Strikes Felons (Violent and Non-violent): No gun rights and no voting rights if you've been convicted of a felony 3 times.
I figure if you are stupid enough to fuck up that many times you really don't deserve shit.

As they should be. That is the law of the land. Any takers on wanting to change it?
It's the law of some of "the land".
Most states return voting rights to felons after they are released.

Gosh, I guess people should know the laws of the state they are in before they murder or commit some other felony.
Sotomayor is the dumbest person ever put on the court. She was an Affirmative Action applicant when she when to college. Her reading skills were so bad that counselors told her to read children's books to improve them.
How could such a person even get into college, let alone get a law degree?
Liberals have raked Justice Thomas over the coals for decades with accusations that he isn't the brightest bulb on the court, yet they all endorsed this incredible dingbat.

Yup.....Democrats.
Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor wants to give jailbirds the right to vote. It's her opinion that the federal Voting Rights Act can be used to force states to allow voting by currently imprisoned felons. Ms. Sotomayor's dissenting opinion in a 2006 felon-voting case should make senators extremely wary of confirming her for the high court.
Ms. Sotomayor is thus in the position of asserting that Congress can prohibit New York from doing something the Constitution itself specifically endorses. It's as if she thinks black and Hispanic felons are convicted in order to deny them the vote, rather than that they are denied the vote as a result of being duly convicted. Her position ignores the fact that it is the convicts' own actions, their crimes - not any state-based racial discrimination - that make those felons ineligible to vote.
As almost every state has done since the United States was founded, New York forbids currently incarcerated or paroled prisoners from voting. Some states go even farther by prohibiting some felons from voting even after they have served their sentences. New York's law is not so stringent. It only applies to felons still under criminal sentences. It equally applies to all felons, black or white.
There is growing evidence that Judge Sotomayor believes some races are more equal than others."
Democrats want to let convicted felons and felons in prison vote! Do you think this should be allowed or not?
If a convicted felon comes out a changed person, there's no need to prevent him from having a gun. And if he comes out still being a criminal mind, then telling him he can't have it won't stop him.

Perhaps you should have thought about this BEFORE you put Gramps and Caribou Barbie up against Obama in 2008?

You don't understand. The felon may be able to get a gun but if he's caught, that's a crime and will send him back to prison. That's the deterrent value

Nonsense. That same exact argument is what the liberals use when saying we should outlaw guns. How's the murder rate in Texas? You'd think the threat of the death penalty would be a better deterrent, eh?
What a silly thing to say. Do you want to legalize murder just because our present murder laws don't stop ALL murders.?
I've duck-season/rabbit-season'ed you! You're selling the leftists' stock arguments for outlawing guns! Stop being such a libturd. The government isn't going to keep you safe, so pull your lips off the teat and kiss your ass goodbye.

Take a course in logic 101 and get back with us.
You obviously didn't understand a word i said.
