I'd have no problem with the likes of Bernie Madoff having guns (if he were on the outside, that is) but wouldn't let him near my finances.<br /><br />If we differentiated between "Violent" and "non-violent" crime, it would make more sense, insofar as anything the government does makes sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-62132681220154992802013-02-27T17:44:34.909-05:002013-02-27T17:44:34.909-05:00I don't want to be one of the people being use...I don't want to be one of the people being used as an example to show others how stupid these laws are.<br /><br />But you're right, these things don't get reversed until a majority decide to get upset about them enough to demand a change.Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-35879714702159378522013-02-27T14:17:57.195-05:002013-02-27T14:17:57.195-05:00Do we want them to?

That means they have to actually prosecute them.<br /><br />For the non-violent, non-career criminal; we need to show the people just how bad the laws really are. <br /><br />I want them trying people for laws that don't make sense. I want the courts clogged down with millions of people who released 5 mylar/helium balloons on a beach and is facing a 3rd degree felony charge -- Let's see people acquitting them because it is a stupid law.<br /><br />We aren't going to get them to remove the laws from the books UNTIL more people wake up to what is on the books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
