Fair enough. Having sexual feelings for children is one step away from acting them out. People who have such feelings are in great need of help from the mental health system and should be isolated from children to prevent them from ever having the opportunity and chance of taking the next step.

In the same way that having guns is one step away from killing people?

Hmmmmm.... I have 27 guns and don't really think about killing anyone. Not that I couldn't if needed, but not something I think about.

Unlike a pedophile who wants to have sex with your children.
