Outlaw any person with criminal history to own a gun ever please!
Excuse you? I'm going to lay out a scenario for you. No names, but just know this is a true story.There was a guy who was raising a special needs boy. Like, severely impaired, ten years old and still couldn't wipe without Daddy to help. And this man would compose little songs here and there and sing them to his son throughout the day. One day, at school, his son started singing the potty time song his dad always sung: "My daddy likes my peepee, my daddy likes my butt..." etc. Immediately, a teacher took action, calling DHS and reporting child sexual abuse.
There was no abuse, of course. The guy was the best father imaginable, and his son tried desperately to tell the police, DHS, the prosecuting attorney, and even the judge. But even with the alleged victim insisting there was no abuse, and no other evidence whatsoever, that man was convicted and sentenced to seventy-five months, day for day. No programs, no time off for good behavior.
Tell me why that man doesn't deserve to defend his home from intruders.

@LordShadowfire Are you implying he should have the right to defend himself from the Government services who charged him?

@Bushranger No. Are you implying he doesn't have the right to defend his home from burglars, thieves, and rapists?
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@LordShadowfire I The preamble seemed to imply you meant defence against the Government services, guess I was wrong.
I don't know about the jurisdiction where I live, but here you are required to yse reasonable force appropriate to the situation. The use of a firearm will generally land you in deep shit, as will beating the crap out of someone breaking into your house. Personally, I've never been put in that situation and neither has anyone I know. Most of the crooks I've known would rather break into an empty house because it's lot easier and less risky.
If your firearms are not well secured, what's to stop a crook from using them on you?

So get a gun lock.

@LordShadowfire Doesn't that mean your firearm is well secured? Mind you, it would result in one more weapon on the street. Gun safes are a better idea, but still not 100% secure

So sorry about a situation where there was a faulty verdict.
We don't own our children. They have legal rights.
The state has the right to make sure a child is safe. When a parent cooperates with CPS when there is an investigation of abuse or neglect, children are usually not placed with a grandparent, the other parent uncle, or aunt .
If the parent refuses therapy when asked by CPS, then a child is sometimes placed with foster care for 6 months or until there is cooperation and proof of therapy. Then the child is placed back in the parents home.
We can all use some therapy, especially if CPS is upsetting us by placing our child in foster care. I say do the therapy have the therapist prove to CPS and the Judge that there is safety measures, and some appreciation for the classes and the therapy which is usually free, and then the child is placed back in the home..

@Carazaa I forgot, you know everything. Probably that guy totally lied to me.

@LordShadowfire What do you mean? Why did you tell me this story then?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Carazaa Because I didn't think you'd contradict it.
Carazaa · F
@LordShadowfire How am I contradicting it? Sometimes the judge is correct sometimes they aren't.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Carazaa I might have skipped the word usually when I read your response. Just ignore my replies.

@LordShadowfire No worries I appreciate your comments!
