If the person is safe enough to walk the streets as a "free" man, he should have every one of his rights restored. If he can't be trusted with the rights of a free man then he should be locked up or executed.
Amen.

Bwahahaha.I don't ever want to see you with a legally purchased firearm in your hands.
As a law enforcement professional with more than 30 years of law enforcement and law enforcement training experience, plus graduate level education in counseling psychology, I can tell you that the only reliable predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
Sometimes violent felons do reform. But we'd be fools to trust any of them to behave responsibly.
I'm pretty sure that felons can ask their Governor (or the President, if it was a federal felony) for their rights to be restored. (The power stems from being able to pardon people.)There should be some process for a full return of citizen rights.
If I undertand the yes respondents, the just and fair alternative to the current system of prison sentences and rights restrictions seem to be longer sentences but with rights restored on release.
I can't believe that more 70 percent polled don't have an absolute belief in the second amendment.
The released felon is safe, or they aren't.
They've paid their debt, by law at least, to society for their
"crime".
If they are not "safe", then how could they be released???
If they are, then how could they be considered less than men, with all the usual stuff that goes along with that, including the right to the most effective self defense?
Emotionally, I'd go for nothing in their favor, but logically....
