What if it is a non-violent felony? Example: a person having a 'joint' of marijuana in Texas was convicted of a felony. He was 18 and had possession of 1 'joint'. Is he now a menace to society?
Take it up with your state legislator if you disagree.
Most states have had that policy in place for a very long time.
In fact, in a lot of states you lose your right to v**e if you are convicted of a felony crime. We were taught about that in high school.
