People don't realize they're on a slippery slope until they notice they're wearing skis.
Just as I thought. Wink, wink, this isn't punitive, so it isn't an ex post facto punishment. This isn't meant to sound sympathetic, but getting your name published in a manner that in many cases will get you driven from your residence counts as punishment in my book. Granted, I would be leading the mob doing that particular task, but I am not kidding myself as to what a registry represents, and SCOTUS played word games here. These guys are a serious problem and legislatures need to do more than just create a registry and consider the problem solved - either we lock them up and throw away the key, or, if we think they can be released back into society, then come up with extensive treatment programs and keep them under probationary sanction for the rest of their lives, so a registry is not ex post facto going forward.
Yep, many libs think us gun owners are just as despicable as child molesters, if not worse, so we too should be subject to these guidelines as well. It never stops with the undesirables, because that term is SO elastic to the liberal mind.
