:idea: Okay, lots of peeps might think I'm going overboard, being sarcastic, or joking about this... but I think I've got a pretty good idea, here.
I want convicted sex offenders (CSO) to endure as much torture as their body, mind, and spirit can take without them dying....then let them heal enough to stand on their own (maybe move around a little bit)... and then they should be used for target practice. :bullseye:
I've even managed to come up with a few points to argue in favor of my idea. Anti-DP peeps won't like my plan, of course... but it's a good plan nonetheless.
My very close friend (he used to date my mother and is like a father figure to me) encouraged me to get my concealed weapons permit, taught me all about handgun safety, takes me to the firing range on a regular basis, and GAVE me a weapon and self defense ammunition. When we go to the range, he insists that I ONLY use a target that has a human silhouette drawn on it because he wants me to be AS PREPARED AS POSSIBLE if I am ever forced to defend myself with deadly force.
ut em up:
He also told me that when young men in the military went to the firing range and they used plain, round targets they would have difficulty firing at a live, moving, human, enemy combatants. They started using silhouettes to get the men used to aiming their weapon and shooting at the human form. I'm sure it's hard to do no matter what type of practice you've had, no matter how long you've prepared, and no matter what kind of training you receive. However, realistic looking silhouettes prove to be very useful at the firing range. :soldier:
Now, here is the point I'm trying to make...
I think that using convicted pedophiles and convicted child molesters as HUMAN targets at the firing range would be the BEST way to take care of them. I have carefully thought about this and have come up with several valid arguments to support this idea.
First off, our prisons are overcrowded, tax dollars are spread thin, and the economy is in trouble. I'm not sure how much money per year goes to housing, feeding, clothing, or providing medical/mental health care for ONE convicted sex offender in one year, but I imagine that the cost multiplied by the number of years they'll spend in prison (should be their entire life, IMO) greatly exceeds the cost of a couple of bullets. I know ammunition has gotten expensive lately, but I still think that a couple rounds of ammo is cheaper that taking care of a sex offender for up to 80 years. Besides, the BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN who defend our country :yellow: are going to have to do target practice anyway... so it makes sense to put their target rounds to use. :highfive:
Money saved could be used for education, used to provide therapy and medical care for victims of sexual abuse, used to fund centers/shelters for battered women, used to aid in the search for missing children, used to help find/maintain permanent, safe, loving, homes for abused children, etc. :grouphug: Just think of HOW much money could be contributed to helping VICTIMS if we didn't spend it on taking care of the CSO.
In addition to saving money, practice with sex offenders as targets for military training would better prepare OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN for combat. :usa: With more training, our Troops are better prepared to defend their lives in combat, so there will be fewer casualties. Protecting our troops should be much more important (and is much more beneficial to our country) than taking care of a CSO. Using a more realistic target would also prepare civilians to defend themselves against any potential attackers.
Finally, my plan removes ANY AND ALL chance that the CSO will re-offend.:thumb:
Helpful additions and
constructive criticism welcome! :cheerful:
Harsh criticism and anti-DP arguments NOT very welcome, but probably unavoidable.
OK... I'm going to hush now. :shutup:
Have a nice day, all! :blowkiss:
