Coy said McAuliffe “has a great deal of faith in the discretion of our judges” to prevent dangerous people from having guns. The reason for different standards in gun ownership and voting, Coy said, is clear. “People are not killing each other with ‘I voted’ stickers,” Coy said. [More]Voting can most certainly have real world lethal consequences, especially when one group decides to start curtailing what it will allow from another under force of arms.

Under TEXAS law, 5 years after completing the punishment phase of a felony conviction (jail time, parole, probation, etc.) a person's civil rights are "supposed" to be restored fully. Unfortunately, when it comes to owning firearms, Federal statutes trump State statutes. Whatever happened to the concept of a person "paying their debt to society" and being able to get on with their life?
