The lie of home detention

[Oh_hunnihunni]

So....
Increase gun control for thousands of law-abiding decent gun owners, because one "damned fool couldn't use his brains to make better choices", but don't put known violent offenders in jail because most of them will probably make wise choices and abide by the home D restrictions placed on them (even though the actions leading to their convictions might suggest otherwise).

Yeah, nah, yeah, that sounds like a really well thought out and entirely logical position to take.

Once again you overlay your preconceptions onto my post. Where did I express a position on increasing gun control? Gun registration is a very different thing. Knowing where weapons are is useful data that we currently do not have. We already have licencing, which is gun control of licence holders perhaps, but it isn't stopping illegal weapons. And illegal weapons aren't in the hands of decent law abiding gun owners.

As I was not that long ago.

What do you bet this shotgun is one of those illegal weapons?

While we're on the subject, I know of two violent acts by persons on home D. Do you know of any others? Out of all those with the privilege (which saves us a fortune in corrections costs) currently abiding by the rules...
