The left is going bonkers because Tennessee isnt going to allow Felons the right to vote.

[TNHarley]

Part of the reasoning for the penalties imposed upon a felon is to deter crime. We can not weaken that factor.

over 50% of them wind back up in prison, while the rest end up leading decent and productive lives.
I guess criminals dont listen to laws.

MSN At one time more states didnt allow Felons to vote because when you dared to take the rights of others away in the harshest manner, then you lose your rights of being a citizen. Then the leftist started harping that if the Felon did his time, he/she/it should be allowed to vote since he paid his dues to society, but not the person/s he/she/it infringed upon. Well if that is the case and they should be absolved of the crime, since they did the time, they should also be able to go out and purchase a firearm, as owning a gun is less dangerous to society than installing the Marxists/ Democrat Fascists....

What say you?

More racism from Tennessee racists.

 

[Flash]

Well, there goes a million Democrat voters.

 

[TNHarley]

So many implications from so few words.
Typical for the left, though

 

[ColonelAngus]

IIlegals may legally purchase firearms, correct?

No implications.
Just a statement of fact.

No it isnt

If you want all the privileges America has to offer then don't be a criminal. It really is that easy.

You don't even have to be a good person, just be a decent person.

 

[Dadoalex]

No it isnt

The actual factual fact say otherwise.

Using teenage insults?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

At least I know what a "fact" is, boomer.

If a felon is done with all their punishment, they should be restored full rights.

That should depend on the crime. Armed robbers and kiddie rapers shouldn't be allowed to vote, or even get driver's licenses.

 

[DudleySmith]

What other rights could we take away from felons that served their time?
How about free speech? Or freedom of religion? What about due process?
If you can rationalize away the HUMAN right to self defense, one can rationalize away those.

Sounds like the way many 'libertarians' think proles and union members should be treated.

 

[JusticeHammer]

We do in Missouri...

Since when? I'm retired federal law enforcement and I think you are wrong,as usual.

 

[DudleySmith]

I mean, cheating at a casino, evading taxes or something shouldnt mean you cant vote or own a gun. Thats bullshit of the highest order.

Except for tax cheats I agree. Bernie Madoff is only doing time because he made a bunch of rich lawyers look like idiots. The wonder is Wall Street hasn't erected a statue in his honor; if he had merely swindled widows and orphans he would have one.

I live here in TN, have never committed or been charged with a felony against my fellow Tennesseans, and I do approve of it. I have no problem with convicted felons be 2nd class citizens. Just because they have finished their jail time, does not mean they now have better judgement, so no need to allow them to select sheriffs, district attorneys, or representatives the write our laws. They chose to be lawless.

What is a "fact" to a MAGAT?
