October 7, 200817 yr Question. If they (a felon) paid their debt to society, should they then be allowed to own a gun? After all, should their rights not be restored? Yes. That said I think certain felonies should carry life time parole with them.
October 7, 200817 yr Well, all I can say is that if you don't like the drug laws in your state, find a lesser law state must be the right answer. Felony is a felony, wherever it happens. I have no desire to debate marijuana legality. I was just using what you said to show that the crime is a crime and the punishment is what it will be.
October 7, 200817 yr Which is also a stupid law. I agree. If a sex offender is still a danger, especially to children, he should remain in custody.
October 7, 200817 yr Which is also a stupid law. ?????????? WHAT????????????? Convicted Pedophiles have no business living near hundreds of children. Too easy to prey or backslide if they are actually trying to "reform". Habib, do you have kids? Do you want Chester the Molester living in your home's shadows? You can't watch them 24/7, but you should be able to control things to make it a little harder for them to prey.
October 7, 200817 yr I agree. If a sex offender is still a danger, especially to children, he should remain in custody. :thumb: Exactly. It's feel good legislation with no practical outcomes, other than a false sense of security.
October 7, 200817 yr Which is also a stupid law. You're right. They should be castrated and then shipped out of the country.
October 7, 200817 yr I agree. If a sex offender is still a danger, especially to children, he should remain in custody. With the current laws and full jails, that's not always an option.
October 7, 200817 yr Yes. If they are reformed criminals, then they will be responsible gun owners. If not, then no law is going to keep them from owning a gun if they choose to do so. And just out of curiousity, what standard and criteria will you be using to determine if they are "reformed criminals?"
October 7, 200817 yr With the current laws and full jails, that's not always an option. So, who is more important to keep locked up? Pedophiles or pot users, DUI drivers, and non-support fathers?
October 7, 200817 yr I agree. If a sex offender is still a danger, especially to children, he should remain in custody. I agree with this but unfortunately that is not the world we live in. As long as they continue to let pedophiles out then the law needs to be there. Personally I believe pedophiles should be put to death or at least locked up for the rest of their lives.
October 7, 200817 yr So, who is more important to keep locked up? Pedophiles or pot users, DUI drivers, and non-support fathers? In any of these cases, the criminal may serve their time and be let out but not necessarily be reformed.... That's why they created probation officers and other programs for people who have lost society's trust. If you kept a pedophile in jail until he was not a danger anymore - he'd have a life sentence. Same with a pot addict, alcoholic, etc...

Boy, I'm getting told to move a lot here lately. :lol: The crime is a crime. But I hardly think it's fair to put someone who sells 3 joints in the same category as rapists/murderers.
