Very informative interview. I just wish we could get the politicians and others to read and believe the research is real, accurate.

Article from Arizona https://tucson.com/opinion/local/arizona-opinion-sexual-offense-laws/article_8396e7a8-0632-11ee-b8bc-e3aec13b8d43.html
That was a great article. And yet year after year we struggle for change; so much is left to be done.
Does Florida consider cp, lewd & lascivious, or attempted l&l, etc… violent crimes? I been searching Florida government websites but could not find anything one way or another. Reason I’m asking there was a recent court case that said non violent crimes are allowed firearms
[Moderator’s note: this may be referring to Range v Attorney General, which was applied to a case of food stamp fraud in Pennsylvania]
I believe the answer is no to these being identified (in general) as violent crimes, BUT, you have to have your rights restored to be eligible to have access to firearms. I spent over 10 years with a request to have my voting rights restored and after Amendment 4 was passed Gov D had all the requests for restoration denied and a 5-year mandatory wait before I can even resubmit for my voting rights. I left owning a firearm off the request as I didnt want to give them a reason to say no. But shockingly, a big NO was the answer. Good luck getting any of your previous rights back.
According to my lawyer the answer is yes any sex based crime is considered a violent crime. That’s how they get away with discriminatory actions. Such as taking away the gain time incentive That’s also why we are linked with murders
