"Compel" is the key word. "Force" isnt. End of story.

The rights stripped from you for committing a felony are unconstitutionally taken away.
NO WHERE does it state in the constitution that the can permanently strip you of your right to bear arms or your right to vote.
Any attempt to do so is illegal and unconstitutional. The trick here is understanding the difference between constitutional and ENFORCED.
For example The Patriot act is NOT constitutional law in this country. it was automatically NULL AND VOID the moment it was signed into law. But it is ENFORCED.
Enforced does not mean constitutional otherwise a law could NEVER be deemed unconstitutional.
the stripping of felony rights is enforced and upheld. it is NOT constitutional. Eventually this WILL be fixed as they increase the number of pathetic things they consider to be a felony.
COMPEL and FORCE are both correct words. Please go look up their definitions and don't cherry pick all the definitions EXCEPT the one that proves you wrong please.
