One for 2nd offense possession of marijuana. The other one for multiple DUI's. I would have no problem with either of them being able to posess firearms they've both been trouble free for 10 years now. But hey they're felons and shouldn't be allowed to have a gun even though their crimes were non violent. Once you pay your debt to society you should be allowed to move on with the rest of your life free from the stigma of what you have done. But for that to work there has to be true truth in sentencing life should mean life and mental health services need to be greatly expanded. Just because you did a nickel doesn't mean you're free to go you should have to be evaluated by a mental health professional before being released. Timed served should be the payment of your debt and prison should provide opportunities and rehabilitation services not just house people killing time. Outreach can help and change the lives of many but heaven forbid we try toque a difference in people's lives we'd be accused of sending people to country clubs. The Swedish may be onto something with their prison system.</p></blockquote><p></p>
