Yes.

They should also be able to purchase guns without background checks

Yes.

It is unreasonable to release them back into a society they have no say in, and expect them to be productive members of that society.

Put a time limit on it.

Something like 10 years after release if no crimes committed within that period...

In most cases they already do once they complete their sentence/probation and parole.

Vote? Yes

I mean they are allowed to run/hold the office


Firearms? Certain ones yes. Why should a tax evader not be allowed to purchase a firearm?

Should depend on the severity of the crime.

Adult illegals that are granted citizenship should never be allowed to vote. If they don't like it they can leave.

It depends and it should be a process that takes place over several years. There is a reason that they are not allowed to vote and it is because they have proven themselves incapable of making good decisions. But, I think there should be a path to earn your right to vote back if your felony was not a violent crime.

We need to fix our system before it happens, but yes.

Like what, a points system? Sounds like a great idea...

There are plenty of people that show themselves to be incapable of making good decisions every day, and we let them vote. 127 million Americans verified that Tuesday.

Virginia`s governor thought so (to the tune of pardoning 60k so they could vote). Delivered the state to Hillary.

If you can't trust someone to enjoy all of their rights then keep the locked up

The absolutely most hilarious aspect of this question is that there is positively zero dispute of the assertion that most felons are democrats.
