and spend some time in jail, where for the duration of their sentence, they themselves will be denied that right. After they have completed their sentence, that right should be restored.

I was under the impression that it was a crime to try to take away a legal right from any citizen. To try to take it away from a particular group of citizens would seem to be an additional crime.

Thanks for the OP, Cal04
