Length of a punitive sentence means nothing to restoration.The standard being you have to be pure of heart and do good deeds?

Length of sentence doesn't matter. The punishment fitting the crime. The total punishment should be the total time of sentence and fines. After that punishment should be over. All punishment. If its a combination of imprisonment, parole and fine then at the end of all three ALL rights should be restored.Length of a punitive sentence means nothing to restoration.
Not to mention victimless crimes; e.g., drug possession, prostitution (at least theoretically), etc. - where people are incarcerated for "their own good".some of my seemingly liberal view centers on how legislators have expanded felonies.
i haven't actually read this book. but i understand it's quite good. and isn't tinfoily or weird.
most people think of felonies as being associated with horrible or egregious acts. but that is not always the case.
worth considering as an aspect of this discussion.
The "career scum" who are turned loose every time they are caught there? Not sure how a new law allowing them to own a gun would change anything. They are arrested now, with guns, and turned loose on the public over and over again. The only people the law makers in OR seem to really care about owning guns are the people who are not committing crime with them. Those people according to the law makers need to have no right to guns.I'm having mixed feelings..., all drugs are basically legal in Oregon,and now ad,Career criminals allowed to have guns, ask alot of criminals, drugs are part of the reason they ended up in jail in the first place..our future no looking to shiny
These guys would qualify for 2A restoration…Well, you admit that you were armed, so I think that checks the "Violent" box on your petition... Sorry, bud...
Worse if you consider the number of people they negatively impact.Let's all face it, these career politicians are just as bad as any career criminals.
In 2020, it peaked at just over 105%. Remember that many had already died.I'm not worried about felons getting their gun rights back. The felons are gonna be packin' anyway.
I'm a hell of a lot more worried about the felons in this state getting their voting rights back. Y'all know how 98% of them vote, right?
You do realize when you can't get a job or place to live due your record. Some will go back to survive. Then take a huge fine at 17-39% interest rate when you do find a min wage job most your check will be gone. We have made people life long felons. Now some and mostly white former incarcerated people have a huge support group of friends and family but vast majority don't. How long will you live on the streets before you do what you have to survive. We have created a mass incarceration prison state. Go look into prison guard unions lobby for huger fines and sentences to guarantee employment. Look up the New Jim Crow and the 13th amendmentHighlights
- The 401,288 state prisoners released in 2005 had 1,994,000 arrests during the 9-year period, an average of 5 arrests per released prisoner. Sixty percent of these arrests occurred during years 4 through 9.
- An estimated 68% of released prisoners were arrested within 3 years, 79% within 6 years, and 83% within 9 years.
- Eighty-two percent of prisoners arrested during the 9-year period were arrested within the first 3 years.
- Almost half (47%) of prisoners who did not have an arrest within 3 years of release were arrested during years 4 through 9.
- Forty-four percent of released prisoners were arrested during the first year following release, while 24% were arrested during year-9.

Thats why I do not intentionally commit felony's. Put the ownerswhip on the criminal for his actions instead of trying to support thier behavior.You do realize when you can't get a job or place to live due your record. Some will go back to survive.

I won't steal or harm anyone.How long will you live on the streets before you do what you have to survive.
What the people who compile these kind of stats do not like to admit is the why. All you have to do is read local news for a while to see what's wrong here. Way too many times you read of some scum arrested for some new crime. Scum often has 5, 10, or even 15 different convictions already under their belt and yet they are 30 years old. So after the first few times they were convicted and proved they learned nothing, they were again turned loose on the public. Then they wonder why? Many in law enforcement in large cities have long said the VAST majority of the violent crime is committed by a VERY few of the same offenders. The people in charge who love stats? They "solve" this problem by letting those few people out on the street over and over again. Then say the real answer is to pass more laws with stats to show why. Gun owners play right into their hands then wonder why its like this. Gun owners just keep loving those stats and supporting more laws while you scream about losing your rights.Highlights
