> possessing CP to automatically considering them a child molester, yet someone posessing an action movie is not considered a murderer

That's specious reasoning. Someone who posesses an action movie likes action movies, while someone who posesses child porn likes child porn. One is ok, the other is pretty vile and illegal for a reason.
