"Reasonable" uses like blasting away in a fit of parental rage, executing the death penalty for a crime which the law holds to be non-capital. YOU have your head so far up your own beloved ass you can't see reason for shit. YOU may advocate the death penalty for child molestation, but until the law ratifies your opinion you have no right to take it in your own hands. Choose a nice, emotive example to support your obsession with self-imposed terminal punishment. It's buffoons like you that eventually crack and start blasting innocent people over some neurotic grudge. Sure, I'd probably LOVE to be holding a gun if anyone tried to violate my infant - and that's exactly why I shouldn't have one. Charlie @ the Death Star, IL.
