They probably don’t want perverts being able to live near their children. They work hard, they are active in their communities, and they pay big money to live well and safely. How is it irrational that they don’t want these fiends near their children at all? They don’t pay for undesirable elements to live around them, rightly if I may be so bold as to add. Would you want these people living near you and would you prevent it if you could? I know I would gladly (not implement a law obviously) prevent them from living near me or my neighborhood if I could.
Looks peaceful, but is really meant to put the ‘boot on the throat’ of the law abiding citizen.
By the way, HOAs are mostly run and ruled by narrow minded folk, with nothing better to do than enact restrictions to feel power.
In CA, they use the same argument (currently 1,000 feet from a school) that you cannot carry an unloaded firearm (to the point they mean on your own property or in public site, or crossing the street to put an unloaded firearm in your auto to go to a legal place of using it).
If you get pulled over, within 1,000 feet of a School in CA and asked to declare if you have any weapons, you either lie or be honest about them (unloaded and properly stored) and still face a felony, based on the ignorance or knowledge of the Peace Officer's mood at that time.
That is my analogy on why it is not about ‘sex offenders’ (who I despise) but about the bigger picture of allowing petty interests to control the masses. That is undemocratic.
They are using this angle to move even more progressive agendas.
I think you’re missing the point. These are fat cats who don’t want sex offenders living anywhere near their children, but could give a flying —— about anyone elses. Moving sex offenders en masse to poorer neighborhoods doesn’t lessen the threat of sex offenders, just the class of their potential victims.
“I know I would gladly (not implement a law obviously) prevent them from living near me or my neighborhood if I could.”
Why not implement a law? And what would you do in the way of prevention instead of a law?
