"Felons, and the dangerously mentally ill cannot buy, own or carry guns".

What could go wrong?

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans voted against barring suspected terrorists, felons and the mentally ill from getting guns on Thursday afternoon, parroting National Rifle Association arguments that doing so would strip some innocent people of their constitutional rights to gun access just a day after yet another massacre on U.S. soil.
They can carry a gun, but they can't vote.

Just
four years ago, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, and Virginia all blocked people convicted of felonies from ever voting again — even after they had fully completed their sentences for prison, parole, or probation.
Today, every one of these states — most recently, Iowa — has allowed at least
some people who’ve finished their sentences to vote, potentially reenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Americans.
It hasn’t been an easy shift. In Florida, voters
approved an amendment to their state constitution in 2018 that lets people who’ve completed their sentences vote again, excluding those convicted of murder or felony sex offenses. But the Republican-controlled state legislature passed a law requiring ex-felons to pay all outstanding court fees before they’re allowed to vote — blocking possibly hundreds of thousands of Floridians who can’t afford the fees from voting.
