[QUOTE="aunty mabels cuntwash, post: 6507, member: 103"] As a matter of fact "no I don't". I don't draw any distinction between someone who shows up with the intent to bash someone, someone who shows up with the intent to bash someone under some illusion of anonymity or someone who intentionally pulls out a restricted firearm and starts popping off people left and right. In each and every case, these people are acting in defiance of the law and should rightfully be prosecuted to the full extent of it. You seem stuck on the idea that creating new laws with the intention of criminalizing the act of wearing certain items of clothing in the hopes it will make them think twice before committing crimes where current legislation has failed to do so. Years of failed experiments in prohibition should dictate that this current excursion is going to fail in its stated aim, something you've already as good as given a nod of the head to when you insist upon the "because of" angle. Which for what it's worth I tend to agree with given human nature's desire to "kick against the pricks" when certain people feel they have been wronged. But it's assuredly a side argument when we can both agree that stricter gun control laws are in fact not working and I put it to you that by applying your argument regarding the uptick of gun violence in the face of stricter controls is just as easily applied to any pending laws denying people their constitutional right to cover up, whether they have violent intent or not. All this new legislation is doing is criminalizing an act which in and of itself hurts nobody while giving law enforcement a heaven sent excuse for locking up anyone they choose on the flimsiest of pretexts. I also put it to you that when put to the acid test, such a law will be struck down by SCOTUS anyway because of the constitutional question, so why waste time pushing for it when a more effective solution is as plain as the nose on your unmasked face?
