Subject: Re: Avoidable Crime
It's just fascinating to me that conservatives get into a huge lather about the idea that the Second Amendment exists to protect us against government tyranny, and then overlook that half of the Bill of Rights (the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments) primarily protect us against the criminal justice power of the government.
And it's equally fascinating that the left is willing to presume that all lawful gun owners are future criminals and place restriction after restriction on their rights..a.ll the while simultaneously reducing sentences and/or refusing to prosecute people who commit actual crimes.
I'm a big fan of 3 strikes laws: get convicted of 3 felonies and you're gone.
