As many members furious claim the "mountain man" who refused to pay $16 for a fishing license rightly was arrested and prosecuted because everyone must follow the law, this seems a relevant question - and is a public poll for those daring to ask.
Every MALE born from 1959 was and still is required to register with the Selective Service, which can be done at the post office. Failing to do so is to be punished:
1. 5 years in federal prison.
2. $250,000 in fines.
3. Lose of voting rights, gun ownership rights and all other loses associated with a felony conviction.
4. Banned from ever holding a federal job or job with the post office.
5. Banned from only most political offices and many other types of employment.
6. Generally also then being unable to be bonded or licensed for many professions, including as an attorney.
7. Banned from most law enforcement positions.
Most states also have penalties.
Shouldn't every male who has not or did not register as required be promptly arrested and prosecuted since everyone must follow the law and there should never be any exceptions or excuses allowed?
