[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 853630, member: 17969"] Ok, I sort of understand the clarification. You said "[SIZE=4][B]convicts lose their rights and they give them up freely by the decisions they make[/B][/SIZE]" Convicts dont give up their rights. Where do you get this? They are still protected by the constitution from cruel and unusual punishment, a fair trial, due process and representation. They give up their FREEDOM but not by choice and surely not FREELY, they are punished for their actions and that choice is NOT theirs to make. Look at Casey Anthony, she sits there all smug, but her rights intact until she is convicted. Then, no one will ask her if she "FREELY" is willing to give up her rights. Her right to freedom will be determined by 12 citizens after consideration of the evidence. So, if convicts dont lose their rights, then that cannot explain your first part of your statement. Felons lose only two rights. The right to own guns and the right to vote. In most cases, those preventions are useless because those who would commit crimes usually do them with a gun without a permit or license, and as an added bonus, they dont vote either. I have never heard of a gang member who killed a person in a driveby with an illegal handgun and then raced home to fill out his voter registration card. I am still confused over your intended meaning, but I will accept your explanation.
