We see it all the time especially in politics. What is the problem with these individuals? Are they mentally ill in reality? Are they just pure criminals? Are they psychopathic? Are they just possessed by demons? Are they morons? ruthless? what are they? Why are so many addicted to their schemes? Why are they supported? Believed in? and so on...

I think corrupt politicians should answer to a higher standard of law that includes insanely harsh punishments for betraying the public and national interests of the citizens they represent. But maybe that is just me.

What do you think?
 
Yes. I do. I would not stop there. Among others, I would add judges and preachers. Assuming the crime they committed was within the realm of their duties.

I know the following is WAY more than you asked for, but I simply can't resist.

If I were king, I would round up all of the guns in the USA. But, after that was done, anyone caught committing a crime with a firearm would get some insane amount of prison time - perhaps even life. Since you are taking away the rights of society as a whole (to own a gun), you would need some way to make them whole when a person commits a crime with a gun.

This if of course a dream because the red necks would never give up their guns and the liberals would scream bloody murder if a person was sentenced for so long.

I'm pretty darned liberal, and you can keep your friggin' hands off my firearms. And, as for long sentences, I say bring back hanging - just make sure you've got the right guy, and don't wait ten years to do the job.

Stereotype much?

You know it is interesting that military personnel are actually held to another standard of the law and conduct which carries much higher penalties for misconduct. At least in the USA I mean if I am in the military and commit a crime I go through a completely different legal process.

But these politicians that send our sons off to war under a different standard of the rule of law and are such corrupt cowards that they would not even expose themselves to the same standards they have dictated for the men of the military. Who actually die for their countries.

You forget that the right to bear arms was explicitly to defend oneself against a rogue government - and kings. For a long time people laughed at the idea of a rogue government going after American citizens. Some of those people aren't laughing anymore. The others who still laugh aren't fully aware of the now almost limitless powers the US Government has; practically sidestepping both the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. The real damage that the terrorist did on 9/11 wasn't to the World Trade Center. The impact has been much deeper, insidious, and long-lasting.

But we are already off topic. There is corruption everywhere. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely (obviously not my quote).
 
Great idea! now without firearms to defend themselves, what about if I rape your wife, daughters,etc using a knife, ax or a machete?should I go free?And if I rob and kill your son? same treatment? Please read the following article!!



18 Little-Known Gun Facts That Prove That Guns Make Us Safer

The American people deserve to know the truth about gun control. Passing strict gun control laws will not make us all safer. In fact, as you will read about below, even a study conducted at Harvard found that the more guns a nation has the less crime it tends to have. In other words, there is a very strong positive correlation between more guns and less crime. This is the exact opposite of what the mainstream media would have us believe, but it makes sense. You see, the reality is that criminals really, really, really don’t want to get shot. When you pass strict gun control laws, you take the fear of getting shot away and criminals tend to flourish. Just look at what is going on in America today. The places with the highest crime rates are the major cities where strict gun control laws have been passed. In some of those cities the police are so overwhelmed that they have announced that they simply won’t even bother responding to certain kinds of crime anymore. The truth is that the government cannot protect us adequately, and that is one reason why millions of preppers are arming themselves and gun sales have been setting new records year after year. Unfortunately, the mainstream media and many of our politicians seem absolutely obsessed with trying to restrict our constitutional right to own guns. They are waging a relentless campaign to try to convince the American people that guns are bad. But is that actually the case? Of course not. The following are 18 little-known gun facts that prove that guns make us safer…

#1 Over the past 20 years, gun sales have absolutely exploded, but homicides with firearms are down 39 percent during that time and “other crimes with firearms” are down 69 percent.

#2 A study published in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policydiscovered that nations that have more guns tend to have less crime.

#3 The nine European nations with the lowest rate of gun ownership rate have a combined murder rate that is three times greater than the nine European nation with the highest rate of gun ownership.

#4 Almost every mass shooting that has occurred in the United States since 1950 has taken place in a state with strict gun control laws…

With just one exception, every public mass shooting in the USA since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. Despite strict gun regulations, Europe has had three of the worst six school shootings.

#5 The United States is #1 in the world in gun ownership, and yet it is only 28th in the world in gun murders per 100,000 people.

#6 The violent crime rate in the United States actually fell from 757.7 per 100,000 in 1992 to 386.3 per 100,000 in 2011. During that same time period, the murder rate fell from 9.3 per 100,000 to 4.7 per 100,000.

#7 Approximately 200,000 women in the United States use guns to protect themselves against sexual crime every single year.

#8 Overall, guns in the United States are used 80 times more often to prevent crime than they are to take lives.

#9 The number of unintentional fatalities due to firearms declined by 58 percent between 1991 and 2011.

#10 Despite the very strict ban on guns in the UK, the overall rate of violent crime in the UK is about 4 times higher than it is in the United States. In one recent year, there were 2,034 violent crimes per 100,000 people in the UK. In the United States, there were only 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people during that same year. Do we really want to be more like the UK?

#11 The UK has approximately 125 percent more rape victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does.

#12 The UK has approximately 133 percent more assault victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does.

#13 The UK has the fourth highest burglary rate in the EU.

#14 The UK has the second highest overall crime rate in the EU.

#15 Down in Australia, gun murders increased by about 19 percent and armed robberies increased by about 69 percent after a gun ban was instituted.

#16 The city of Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. So has this reduced crime? Of course not. As I wrote about recently, the murder rate in Chicago was about 17 percent higher in 2012 than it was in 2011, and Chicago is now considered to be “the deadliest global city“. If you can believe it, there were about as many murders in Chicago during 2012 as there was in the entire nation of Japan.

#17 After the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a law requiring every home to have a gun, the crime rate dropped by more than 50 percent over the course of the next 23 years and there was an 89% decline in burglaries.

#18 According to Gun Owners of America, the governments of the world slaughtered more than 170 million of their own people during the 20th century. The vast majority of those people had been disarmed by their own governments prior to being slaughtered.

Sadly, you rarely hear any facts like these on the mainstream news networks. Instead, they give countless amounts of air time to the radicals that are obsessed with gun control.

And did you know that there is now an official propaganda manual that has been put out for gun control advocates? This manual actually encourages gun control advocates to emotionally exploit major shooting incidents to advance the cause of gun control…

Democratic strategists have drafted a how-to manual on manipulating the public’s emotions toward gun control in the aftermath of a major shooting.

“A high-profile gun-violence incident temporarily draws more people into the conversation about gun violence,” asserts the guide. “We should rely on emotionally powerful language, feelings and images to bring home the terrible impact of gun violence.”

The 80-page document titled “Preventing Gun Violence Through Effective Messaging,” also urges gun-control advocates use images of frightening-looking guns and shooting scenes to make their point.

“The most powerful time to communicate is when concern and emotions are running at their peak,” the guide insists. “The debate over gun violence in America is periodically punctuated by high-profile gun violence incidents including Columbine, Virginia Tech, Tucson, the Trayvon Martin killing, Aurora and Oak Creek. When an incident such as these attracts sustained media attention, it creates a unique climate for our communications efforts.”

You can read the rest of that manual right here.

So will those pushing gun control win, or will the American people be able to see through the propaganda and insist on keeping their constitutional right to bear arms?
 
Public floggings strikes me as a proper punishment for corrupt 'officials'. Maybe some time in the stocks too.
