I actually don't understand why someone must be punished their whole life for a mistake.
There are dumb laws which result in a felony, which would ruin a person's life. Hell, I can't remember which state, but someone was placed in a sex offender's database for masturbating some type of kid or animal doll(probably Louisiana or Kentucky).
I'm absolutely for "constitutional rights" restoration, even social security rights, if the person has truly changed.
You see it in the news all the time, where kids do something stupid. Some kids which commit murder are tried as adults.
Below is an example by thoughts....
I'm sorry to sound biased, but when did people actually listen to the kid's side of the story? Kid kills his/her parents and gets a felony rap when the kid was only trying to "get help" the only way he knew? Abuse doesn't only take form physically, but mentally(I disagree with calling mental issues non-physical). A kid "fixes" their life only to be punished further, most likely resulting in a suicide 1-3 years later.
There was one story, where the kid actually had a decent judge. I was amazed at the absolute ignorance and stupidity of fellow NRA members. People were calling the courthouse telling them to "Hang the kid" because he shot a member of the family.
Of course there could be some rules or regulations designing some sort of council, at the cost of the requesting party to restore such rights. It just "makes sense."
This is a small part discussing my view of rights restorations.
