Moral Turpitude

Morality enters the picture because when a defendant takes the stand, state law allows prosecutors to offer evidence that the defendant was previously convicted of crimes involving “moral turpitude,” which is legalese for conduct that’s inherently depraved. The court said both of Gabriel’s past crimes fit that description.

California has outlawed assault weapons because they’re used for crimes, not hunting or recreation, the court said, and Gabriel should have known that the gun he was convicted of possessing was “partiuclarly [sic] dangerous to human life.” [More]
Unless, of course, you're the "Only Ones" enjoying a monopoly of violence.  Say, aren't the regressives the ones who tell us you can't legislate morality--at least when it serves their agenda?

Talk about inherent depravity!

Pssst....hey, kids: Wanna see me committing an "immoral" act with two other guys?
