I think there should be certain age restrictions on capital punishment, but I am still for the old stand by that the punishment should fit the crime. And how dare we look bad in the eyes of the international community when in Africa they are cutting children's heads off with machetes and in Iraq our own American soldiers are being drug to their deaths and burned alive. How dare we give our own citizens that have committed terrible crimes a cruelty free death? I don't think at this point it matters what the rest of the world thinks of us, we are just big bullies in their eyes anyway. So I say if they are deemed by a mental health professional of having all of their mental faculties at the time of the act, and that act is so heinous that it would require a verdict of capital punishment, then punish them accordingly.
I think that gun control is a joke. If you look at the level of violent crime that was committed with legal assault weapons it is very low. In fact, the rate of weapon violence that was committed by the people that legally bought the guns was little to non-existent. We don't need to reform how these weapons come into people's hands legally, we need to control how these guns come into the market illegally. Like I said before, we don't have a problem with the legal arms trade, it's the illegal arms trade that's hurting us. It's not only the one in the United States, it's the ones' that supply Africa, the insurgents in Iraq, and so forth. So what I'm trying to say is, how about you fix the broken part of the system before you tackle the rest of the machinery.
