    Real talk though, you can’t punish thought crimes.

    Who TF dreams of crashing planes that does not fly planes? The incidence of plane-crash-dreamers is most certainly highly concentrated amongst pilots.

    As are those who dream of killing babies concentrated around those who spend time around them.

    Most of us use our brains to filter out things that we don’t want to come to actualization. But the bad thoughts are in there. 94% of us will experience intrusive thoughts at some point in our lives. All to jail?

      And yet you think people should have their guns taken away for their thoughts or their words, so what makes you think you’re any better?

      But the bad thoughts are in there. 94% of us will experience intrusive thoughts at some point in our lives. All to jail?

      Imagine treating intrusive thoughts and killing babies as somehow equivalent. And that psychologists aren’t trained to know the difference and who to flag, and who not to. At least that’s what you’d say when pushing for red flag laws.
