Do you want ex-felons or mentally ill people having

Felons can apply to have their rights restored. They have to follow
the state procedures. In my state prisoners now have to be advised of
this fact upon release or at the parole hearing.

Yes, they can apply, but those rights have to be restored to the
satisfaction of the BATFE, which will not fund a process for doing so.
