Restoring Firearm Rights and Voting Rights for Non-Violent Felons

I agree. Whether you’re a felon or not, if you’re an American citizen, you should have your voting rights restored after completion of all your requirements from the Court. We did this in Florida and the world didn’t stop spinning. Why continue punishing someone by withholding the rights the dumbest among us have access to? It seems an awful lot like double jeopardy and let’s not forget our ancestors were often sent here as punishment for “crimes” in England, Scotland and Ireland and they received the right to vote upon naturalization. Americans are Americans regardless of background.
