Maybe we should execute wife beaters

[NCDem777]

Every other mass shooting seems to involve someone who likes using women as punching bags.

1. At least we should take their guns away

[dumbcat]

3. They can always get another gun

You need to take action on the perp, not the tool.

[NCDem777]

7. I'd like to think that

But this dude had his guns taken away. And paraded his gun around on Facebook. Nobody did anything.

It's clear that the wife beaters will find a way to get a gun unless they're dead.

11. The "he'll do it anyway" reasoning is not valid..

It's important to have laws, even if some break them..

[Sneederbunk]

2. Or send them to Gitmo.

10. welcome to free republic

Posters advocating for the death penalty and Guantanamo. Hard to understand.

23. Some of the posters on this thread may have accounts there

with higher post counts

[MindPilot]

4. Maybe make it OK to NOT be in a relationship?

If someone pisses you off that much, get away from them.

OTOH, your idea has merit...

[NCDem777]

8. Plus it would piss off a lot of Trumpers

ya know the ones. The college guys who bitch about "feminazis" all the fucking time. The ones who scream about "political correctness" when they get caught treating women like shit.

[Not Ruth]

5. We should not execute anyone, but we should treat their mental illness

[NCDem777]

9. Wife beating is not a mental illness

it never gets better with treatment. They never change

[LonePirate]

6. I do not support the death penalty but repealing and replacing the 2A should be paramount.

We desperately need to enact new amendments that repeal the 2A, prohibit gun ownership and confiscate all current privately held guns. Nothing short of those will only lead to more carnage across America.

[aikoaiko]

14. You're right. Which is why we wont actually change anything.

[Calculating]

20. Confiscate huh...

Are you gonna go door to door collecting them?

[IronLionZion]

12. or ban them from buying new guns

dude bought his last year from a sporting goods store.

[NCDem777]

13. He'd go to the black market

the only way to top wifebeaters from turning into mass killers is to put em down when they get caught wifebeating.

[IronLionZion]

19. Where's the black market?

do you think average wife beaters know where to go for that? It may be a bit more difficult.

And that weakens the argument for gun control.

15. Years of working DV made me support a registry like sex offenders

Because the threat and bad recidivism rates are similar.

Part of the problem is that these abusers are great at hiding who and what they are to people they meet- right until they are not. That is how they find victim after victim.

A registry would protect a lot of people by allowing them to know who and what the person is before getting involved.

16. 1 year is way too little time, especially for this guys level of abuse.

He should've still been in jail. The jerk was out in enough time to attend Trump rallies* harass his ex's family and commit this horrendous crime.

*Trump supporter profile.

17. Do you recognize this man?

Low-post counts, but not zero - check
Handle consists of vague "Liberal" words & some numbers - check
OP attempts to goad DUers into "Illiberal" position - check

"Welcome to DU", comrade!

[IronLionZion]

21. "Welcome to DU", comrade!

18. If we execute wife beaters who's going to beat our wives?

Machoism is disgusting. I run from frat boy types as if they're infected. They are. They have nothing to offer, and they are noticing that we see they have nothing to offer. This is why they're threatened by genteel men.

Through careful mate selection we may be able to eradicate this disease on humanity; the murder-priming disease of manliness that is only carried by blowhards.

22. Make getting weapons difficult. Provide protection for battered women. nt

[NCDem777]

24. You can make it difficult

but not impossible. It becomes impossible when the wife-beater is dead.
