Your guns have little value in fighting the government. The last time that happened thousands were killed and slavery was abolished, However by using my vote I can get rid of our government and nobody will get hurt.Good luck keeping your so-called rights with those swords, because we all know you have no right to own a gun. Meaning you only have faith in government to keep your so-called rights. Nor is there much you can do when the government abuses or even rescinds your so-called rights. You have privileged granted to you, you do not have rights.Nope, our rights were extracted from our government at swordpoint. They form the basis of your rights.You have privileges granted by your government, you have no rights. They can all be taken at any given moment. You have no clue what real rights are.I have the right to vote, self-expression, freedom of association and so on. I certainly dont need the right to carry a machine gun round with me. never have and dont know anyone who has either.Says a Limey who has no rights. You are out of your depth now.Voting is a lot more important than playing with guns. It isnt the same thing.Then they should get their 2nd Amendment rights back too? That's the crux of it. Either they are safe to participate in society or they aren't, you can't really have it both ways, limiting some rights and not others.If people have served their time then they have paid their debt to society. They should be able to vote. Otherwise, none of Trumps inner circle would be able to vote.That makes no sense, but I don't expect much from a foreigner. Either one is eligible for their Constitutional rights to be restored or they aren't. It's not a pick and choose proposition.Common sense, helps people get back into "normal" society.What is the argument against former prisoners voting ? If they have done their time that is surely enough.
Here in FL, the public voted to allow felons who've been releasted to vote by a 2:1 margin. Something like half of Republicans voted for it too.
The right to vote is far more important than any other because that is what binds us together as a community. This is how we change things in the first world.
