your boy bernie could have said this. instead he paused, thoughtfully considered the question, and declared his position terrorists *still in prison* should be voting. he hasn’t retracted, and you haven’t dissented. no one is forgetting this.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1121421715324772354 …

Is it insane? I think there's a proper debate to be had. The founding fathers claimed rights were inalienable. Just saying.
confused about what you're advocating here: granting rights to prisoners or abolishing prisons? if the former, i can assure you the founding fathers weren't arming prisoners. if the latter, that's an interesting, but very extreme position i simply don't agree with.

I am curious as to why, at a practical level, this bothers some ppl so much. Let's say those rights had always been retained, what would be the utility in removing them? What's the argument for it in terms of contribution to rehabilitation or punishment?

you’re proposing the radical change here, not me. if you want to abolish prisons, the burden of explaining how this will not lead to chaos is yours.

The former. I think it makes sense to at least have that debate. I agree second amendment inside prisons is bad. Also not arguing for the abolishment of prisons. Though we must face our incarceration epidemic.
