That is not a spelling error. The entire thread on "should the blind carry" was very good and I am in favor of them carrying. However on the note of select oppression a resounding thought came back into my mind and so I have decided to broaden the opinions I have received in the matter.
Do you feel the penalties on child molesters are too harsh?
Such a touchy subject but I will help break it down.
http://www.megans-law.net/Megans law was inacted May 17th 1996 it helped create a data base to track and register sex offenders.
This law completely strips a person from all freedoms of privacy. And in some cases may prove fatal if someone wishes revenge. Do you feel this is just? Are there other ways to go about punishing that most heinous of crimes? Yes they are allowed to live without lasting injury or disfigurement but they are surely not granted the same rights you or I are. They cannot own or carry a firearm ever. The neighborhood gets informed on every movethey make. They loose all civil liberties. Is this how we should punish people?
The real questions to ask. What is being acomplished by all of this? What are the long term goals. Can sex offenders be rehabilitated? Should we try?
I will reveal my thoughts at a later time I want to see some other opinions.
