So, TBO, what are your thoughts on redemption and letting felons who have completed their jail/probation/parole vote?

On a similar issue, what about restoring all civil rights to felons once they have completed their punishment? Here I am particularly speaking of 2nd Amendment rights.

Any thougts on either point from anybody?

My own thoughts are that we should let them own firearms and vote, at least in general. Their are certainly variations in scope amongst vrious felonies on the law books today. Maybe not for, say, treason or armed rebellion. Maybe no restoration of firearms rights for certain violent crimes but restoration for non-violent felonies?
