So it's not ok to take away a felon's voting rights but it's ok to take away their 2nd amendment rights? Consistency anyone?

Ahhh714 Do you not understand the difference between government power and private enterprise? Let me simple it up for you... If the government tells you that you can't vote because of X, that's unconstitutional. If an employer won't hire you because of X, that's called free enterprise. The point is to protect people from GOVERNMENT.

***** Yes. They should. Someone who's too "dangerous" to be allowed to vote or to have a gun should not be on the street in the first place. I have no problem with keeping deserving criminals in tiny dark holes for the rest of their miserable lives. But once you decide that it's safe to let them out, they should be treated just like everyone else.
