You also have to fill out paperwork in order to register to vote. Kind of like when you purchase a gun. Now, if you had to present your gun license to a Game Services Official each time you wanted to fire it, in order to be allowed to fire it, the comparison might be more accurate.

Taking away felons' right to vote (in some cases, even after they've served their sentence) came into existence post Civil War, in the South. It was just another way to keep blacks from voting. One some states continue to use today.
