I don't know what to think anymore. They just reversed a law here in Indiana that kept registered sex offenders off of social networks like facebook, but they want to make it illegal for law abiding citizens to own guns. These are CONVICTED child and sex offenders and we are concerned about their "rights" and not those of the innocent children they prey on in social network sites. However, the rights of citizens with clean records is being trampled on by the same lawmakers and legal system out of shear ignorance and fear. How on earth can someone argue that these offenders free speech rights should trump those of law abiding citizens. To me, this is the equivalent of giving someone a gun permit if they had been convicted of a crime in the past, and we all know that isn't going to happen. If it did, we would all stand up and say how crazy it is to give a convicted criminal a legal right to own the very thing that could give them the power to commit another crime. To think that these people that have preyed on children or innocent victims should be able to use the exact tools (facebook, twitter, etc) that will lead to the exact same crimes shows how sick and warped our system is right now. The majority of gun owners are some of the most stable and intelligent people I have ever come across. This is merely my opinion, but all sex offenders and child predators are some of the sickest people walking the streets. I think I'm safe in assuming we can agree that is a fact. The media did a small blurb on this story last night and I actually got sick to my stomach. This should be getting attention everywhere, but it won't. It is much easier to get fired up over guns than it is about facebook acounts but the long term damage done by sex abuse is irreversible. I've personally known people that have been the victims of sexual abuse and they are damaged for life. I just don't know where these lawmakers' and judges' priorities are at anymore. They are quick to stand up for a child molester's 1A rights, but a law abiding gun owner is somehow not as important or assumed wacko with bad intentions. I don't know how they can **** on the constitution and bill of rights when it comes to the 2A and law abiding citizens, but turn around and use it to benefit an already convicted person of some of the most heinous crimes imaginable, crimes that scar emotionally for life. I am so scared of what this country is becoming and the problems my two young children are going to have to face. When are citizens like us going to truly do something and put people in office that can actually see how sick the system is. Rant over. I'm just so discouraged right now that I had to get it out.
