Felons do not have constitutional rights. Felons are slaves, check the 13th amendment. Felons also cannot vote or run for public office.

 In some states felons’ right to vote may be restored. Felons are not slaves: I’ve never heard anything so preposterous.

 Imprisonment is not slavery, subject to loose interpretation.

 

[I]n the United States, the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime of which one has been convicted.

Do you? 

Most states remove that right once deemed criminal.

 I do, upon being convicted of my 1st felony I lost it. It was restored. Again though unless the 1st amendment states that people cannot own firearms, the 2nd amendment is more important than the 13th, which states that slavery is legal.

I don't think your right to vote was restored, or at the very least I would be surprised. 

If you're in VA, possession of a firearm is a class 6 felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine, and based on context and your personal history it stands to become more with room for a two year minimum time served. 

For voting rights, you would need to appeal to your Governor, and even s/he can't restore your firearm rights.

I am fairly confident my right to vote was restored. Can't really imagine I am wrong about this.
