But, if more people knew that their neighbor were a convicted child molester with a high-risk of repeat offenses, more would probably demand to be allowed to carry guns and that CA enact fewer gun restrictions. I don't think the liberals in our legislature want anything like that.

The liberals have a strange mentality. If you have lived a peaceful life, minding your own business and not hurting anyone, the liberals are very paranoid that you might become a criminal someday if you happen to own a gun. On the other hand, the left isn't concerned at all about people who are proven criminals. The left tried to make it illegal for gun owners to live within 1000 feet of any school -- evidently out of fear that the gun owner would go postal or else out of a fear that some little darling will steal guns on his way home from school. But if a convicted child molester lives next door to a school, why that is no big deal. Indeed, the child molester might even have the "right" to associate with children and parents who object just might find themselves guilty of a "hate crime." It is like the worse you behave, the more the left wants to empower you.

Good point! A convicted child molester is far more likely to be dangerous to children than a law-abiding citizen.
