        justice is supposed to be about Rehabilitation, for both the victim AND the wrong-doer ...

        no, it's about punishing those who break the law.

        crime is its own punishment, crime is its own Hell; justice is about Repentance and Rehabilitation :-)

        we agree that the whole prison system needs to be Reformed, to promote Repentance and Rehabilitation :-)

        here's another thought. there are way too many people in jail. let's start by putting people who need to be there, there!

        yes, there are too many people in the prison system, we agree on that; and we should abolish the death penalty :-)

        Impossible. Criminals will always find guns/weapons to carry out misdeeds. Arm good men with guns and knowledge.

        But you just said it yourself; the bad guys will get the guns no matter what. Shouldn't the good guys be armed?

        Why not teach kids how to use guns and teach firearm safety? The more good people you educate the better.
