If what many posters are claiming is true... That "so long as they live; they'll have never repaid their debt"...------------------------------ violent and peds should stay in prison . Why take a chance of them doing it again Ray ?? Compare a violent pedo to some of the other ways [nonviolent] that a non violent person / felon can lose their gun and other RIGHTS . Let the violent live in prison for 50 years while releasing the non violent with restored RIGHTS RAY .True, but at least in our state, if a sexual offender is released, he must register in that city he moves into as a sex offender. The city distributes his name, picture, and convicted offenses. He has to live somewhere after all. Plus they cannot live X amount of feet within a school.
Of course if we are going to restore voting rights, why not rescind these laws? After all, they did their time.........right??
So can you give me some examples of non-violent felons? And don't tell me drug pushers; the people responsible for killing over 70,000 Americans a year.
Any theft over 1000 dollars.

Very well. So somebody breaks into your home and steals 50K worth of jewelry. You didn't have any theft insurance. After about ten years, the guy gets out of jail and has his voting rights restored. You're okay with that?
Yep, if that is what his sentence was, I am good with it. He paid his debt to society. I think everyone should get their voting rights back after they have done their time.
Two things. Its not a debt. And the appropriate punishment should have been death. As that apparently is the only way to repay said "debt"...
