6. We don't have a Scandinavian system

Recidivism is a problem.
I don't like the idea of violent felons having access to firearms.
I don't like the idea of violent felons having access to knives over 3 inches long either.

When there is a system that reforms and rehabilitates the violent aggressors, I would consider the idea that they can be free.

There are many Scandinavian systems and practices that would have a positive effect in this country. I would encourage working to incorporate those into our government, economy and social behaviors.
