Semantics anyone?

Ok Ok.. so the Supreme Court ruled today (yes, june 26, 2008-- over 200 years after the constitution was written, just so we're on the same page here) that individuals are allowed to have a gun as means of protection in their home. Let me say it again:

Yea and they also ruled that the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment for child molesters ???? UHG

I KNOW! i don't see how the death penalty is seen seen as "cruel and unusual" for ANY criminal. i'm all for putting criminals through the same anguish that incarcerated them in the first place.

oh, so you robbed a bank and shot an officer? you deserve to have all your money taken away, and we're gonna shoot you in the leg. i think that sounds fair.

At least the combination of these rulings leaves it open for a child to shoot his/her molester.

because if being molested wasn't mentally scarring enough, shooting a gun at the molester will DEFINITELY scar a child for life. i hate guns... and yunno, there would be no problem with ANY of this if guns weren't so readily available.
