Original Note:
This post confuses Clemency with a Pardon. While a pardon erases a conviction, a commutation keeps the conviction but removes or reduces the sentence. Those who are pardoned get all of their rights back, including the right to vote and own firearms. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/frequently-asked-questions
