Please sign the White House petition that will outlaw crime. Absurd? About as absurd as passing even more gun laws to stop crime.
If crime is illegal, only criminals will commit crime.
Someone needs to start a petition to shutter that ridiculous site. I think the only job that Obama has truly created is sys admin of that huge waste of time.
THAT will fix it.
Why not just make crime legal and then tax it?
You’re getting close to the truth.
““Do you really think we want those laws observed?” Said Dr. Ferris. We want them broken. You better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

And once you’re a part of the crime family, there’s no getting out, short of a garrote. That’s an interesting quote there, mr. mylife.
Elected officials, before taking office, need to pass background checks. The guy who has his finger on the nuclear trigger would not have passed the same background check required for most CC states. Maybe we should limit the President and his family to one USSS agent who has only 7 bullets.
Just pass a law that makes it illegal to shoot 10 or more 5 year old children at one time.
