Mr. Speaker, I am a pretty reasonable person. I believe that folks have an opportunity for redemption. I believe in rehabilitation. I think and believe it can happen, but we are not talking about folks who commit a crime for the first time, who have done something and can get help. We are talking about folks who have repeatedly, which means over and over again, in case the other side is not aware, committed violent crimes. How are they going to learn if they do not understand that there are consequences and that it is cause and effect?
