This is the dumbest string I ever read.
High noon hanging! Public welcome.
Them people that does drugs, sells drugs ect, they should be use for organ donations we know alot of good folks dont do no drugs, they are on wait list’s for a kidney a lung, what not.
If someone wont work and don’t want to, and are doing drugs, selling drugs, what not, it don’t make sense to lock them up when they got parts good people do need.
This will be a good thing for good people, it would be nice if our reps would make this happen. Life is to good to waste it on them does drugs and sells that evil.
There is a problem with that. It was brought up when Niven wrote “The Jigsaw Man”.
After you run out of that specific criminal, who’s next, then who, eventually you run out of criminals all together, then who? Draw numbers lottery style.
Good intentions, but would be a VERY bad idea to get started.
Let everyone carry. Solve millions of problems.
Iowa is a constitutional carry state…. If you’re not a felon. Pretty much anyone over 21 can carry and you’d be surprised how many ppl do so.
Why exclude felons? Give everyone a gun.
Ppl sometimes do change and should have their firearm rights restored.
Send them to Gitmo!!!
