4. I have my own thoughts on some of these measures.

I am also against the death penalty. Murderers, rapists, pedophiles and a variety of the violent criminals who we now repeatedly rotate through periods of prison and public exposure to the detriment of ourselves and our neighbors need to be locked away for life. I am almost completely against prison for non-violent offenses.

The term gun "control" is an absolute lie since the only real control of behavior is self-control. IMO many people want to believe in gun-control because they want themselves and their neighbors to just FEEL safer. There are folks out there embracing attitudes that are anti-Democrat simply because some so called control measures are offensive.

In reality today criminals are sometimes using "ghost" guns. Guns can be manufactured from parts. IMO it would be actually helpful if we, both locally and nationally, worked to abate the real causes of crime and mitigate the effects of convicted repeat violent offenders rather than trying to brand all gun owners as complicit. There is nothing more unifying than a common enemy so please hate your neighbor because he owns a Glock or an AR. How's that really working?
