I mean I'm actually making a concession to say on a case he case basis maybe some people should be restricted. My initial impulse is like you say to just restore felons their full rights.

I support the death penalty in theory but not in practice. Some people do deserve to die but the state can't be trusted to selectively yet efficiently mete out death.

Fair enough, I agree with your perspective here.

If we could know, 100% of the time, whether someone is or isn't culpable for a crime, I would support the death penalty. But I've heard too many stories of people on death row who get exonerated, often with DNA evidence. My other issue is that I just can't square the circle that it's not okay for a citizen to kill someone but it is okay for the state to kill someone.

I tend to agree with Blackstone's Principle: It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.

I was thinking with all the PC remakes of classic movies, they could make A Christmas Story where instead of a bb gun the kid wants a transgender Barbie doll.

That way it's different enough to be modern yet they can still keep the tagline "you'll put your eye out, kid."

Are you comparing jwb to Sargon of Cuck-ad?

jwb is better than that - and if you're honest, you'd agree, even if you disagree with some of his takes on things.

The should give the kid an AR-15 and the running gag line can be “you’ll kill the whole school with that” then when he actually does it it’ll be so funny and ironic.
