Innocent children have nothing to fear from these girls, admit it. The registry is broad-reaching and needs reform.

I would much rather live next door to someone who peed on a sidewalk twenty years ago than next door to some meth-addict who collects guns.
Bullets are more dangerous than pee, get a clue.

This isn't like stealing a car or cheating on taxes.
This is about innocent children – sons and daughters – who can't protect themselves.
