what weird results would those be? Most results are predictable if you use logic.. liberals want to force the result based on some vague "feeling" not logic or fact.
While I have seen many liberal ideas result in very "weird" and harmful results.... I have never seen ones based on logic and fact do so.

I'll be happy to explain why I think the consistency of your view ends in weird results.
You take the view that all convicted criminals, under every circumstance should be released into society after serving their sentences without any restrictions on what they can or cannot do after they leave prison. You base this on the presumption that if someone has served their sentence the slate should be 'wiped clean' regardless of the crime. If there is a doubt about whether they will reoffend then they should continue to remain in prison.
You are comfortable that child abusers, after they have served their term in prison should be allowed to work with minors (albeit that you would like to see a death penalty for them, but this state of affairs does not universally exist)
You are confortable that people convicted of gun crime should be allowed to own a firearm on release from prison.
The list could go on, but these two results should serve as absurd conclusions in themselves of your proposition.
The problem, I think, is that you live in a 'black and white' world and unable to see shades of grey. Of course, I agree with you that if someone is convicted of a minor shoplifting offence they should be allowed back into shops on their release and their rights fully restored. However, I find that extending that to giving violent criminals free access to guns or child abusers free access to children totally wacky. I expect that most would agree.
