    So I don’t think those are the rights OP is referencing exactly. Criminals should absolutely have the right to the things you mentioned, but I think OP was referencing more the right to vote, hold office, etc. In some states (and countries throughout history) those with felony equivalent convictions lose access to civic related rights. This severely limits their ability to participate in and therefore influence political and civic discourse and direction.

      Yeah but, how can they fight for the rights I mentioned without the rights you mentioned?

      No, look at the username in the image. The OP is referring to the right to own guns.
