| Yes and no....
I believe that once you serve your time for certain crimes you do have the right to regain your rights. But that is the problem, most criminals do not become rehabilitated. They do not want to be productive members of society.
I also believe that once you break the law and become a felon you have lost your rights because you didn't care about other peoples' rights.
It comes down to this, if said criminal has truly been rehabilitated and wants to be a productive member of society and proves it than yes. Said person should have their rights restored.
BUT!!!!!!!
It does not apply to criminals like sexual predators, murderers, career criminals, other true scum of the Earth. If you rap sheet is long than the bible. Tough luck, you lost your rights a long time ago.
If you're a guy that got busted for stealing a TV, did your time, learned from your mistakes, and truly wants to correct the mistakes in your life and become a productive member of society. You should be given the right to prove that you should get your rights back such as that to own a firearm and vote. But you need to prove it bigtime.... This is not going to be some blank check like welfare. Sadly, if this happens folks like Hiltery Clinton will turn it into a mess by giving child rapist a get out of jail free card.
