Very few gun owners commit crimes with their guns but the media would have the sheeple think that every gun owner is a criminal simply waiting for opportunity. And the recidivism rate for child molestors is actually quite low, though-- again-- the media would have us believe otherwise.
I recently had an old friend commit suicide. After his funeral I recieved a floppy disk with a long explanation on it. I seems that he had molested a child once, 35 years ago, served his time and rebuilt his life. After all that time, his past caught up with him and the State decided that he had to register as a sex offender and post a sign in his window to warn his neighbors. He chose death as a lesser punishment.
In his long and rambling essay, he pointed out repeatedly that he had never re-offended but that every time he was required to admit to his record, he was discriminated against and treated like an old-fashioned leper.
He was a good friend and a good family man. He left a loving wife (who knew of his record before they were married), two children and a number of close friends.
So, in spite of popular opinion, some CAN BE cured and rehabilitated.
Have people forgotten what that reason is?
Got some stats to back that up?
