If there were appropriate penalties for breaking the law, I doubt there would be the same hysteria we have now (think back to the 2016/2017 MMSA inquiry), as the recidivist pricks that prompted most of that were career crims, and it's much harder to accumulate a pile of AR15s and USCs in a prison, which they ought to have been. Ditto various other cases that brought firearms into public debate.

What's the point you are trying to make @Tommy ? In that list only 2 studied law... Mugabe was a teacher, Bill Clinton studied Politics, Philosophy & Economics.

Mugabe was initially a teacher, but has TWO law degrees from the University of London
Bill Clinton has a Juris Doctor from Yale, he met HRC at that Law School in fact. He was also Attorney General for Arkansas.

If you look at the results of Government Referenda, I suspect you'd be hard pressed to find examples that were not implemented.

Yeah, leave it to our betters eh?
