Possible Response to Felon Frenchise
Frank J has a reasonable proposition for those in favor of giving felons the right to vote: If Felons Can Vote, Then I Should Be Able to Carry at Polling Places. I am personally against allowing felons to vote although some prominent politicians think having more rapists and murderers voting is a good thing. I might accept a proposal to restore voting rights after a certain length of time (say ten years after their parole has ended) for non-violent/fraudulent felons.
Here is how Frank J sees his proposal working out, It ain't gonna work on me, bub. I say we lobby for us permit holders to now carry into polling places. Alarmists will worry about me running into the room with two guns blazing, but, while I will have two .45s pointed out in front of me, safeties off, fingers on the triggers, shouting, "I'm voting Republican! And, if any of you have a problem with it, make your move!" I will not be firing any rounds unless someone mistakenly thinks I'm bluffing. Yes, it could end in a violent shootout, but that's true democracy for you. If you don't like it, go to some country that doesn't have democracy and we currently don't have any immediate plans to invade (I can't think of any off-hand, but I know there are some). So, Democrats, go ahead and get felons the vote. Just expect me to come reasonably prepared... and I don't just mean having read up on the issues. And, if one of your new voters causes me any trouble, he'll end up with more holes in him than a punch card ballot.
