What would help the gun problems, is the prosecution of, and harsh sentencing of, all those that commit crimes with a gun. In the cities with the highest crime rates, usually blue cities, and very often progressive, and very liberal, these criminals are very often released with very little, and often no bail, then they go through a revolving door of justice. Prosecutors allow them to plea bargain and receive very minor sentences for gun crimes, or other violent crimes. So they end up right back on the street doing the same thing they were doing, and laughing how they got over on the system. There are already over 20,000 gun laws on the books, there is no need for further laws, just enforcement of existing ones. There is no gun problem, there is a society problem, and no gun law that will ever fix that. If some 12 year old kid picks up a gun, and points it at a store clerk, he should spend the next 15 to 20 years in prison. If he shoots the clerk non fatally, he should spend the next 25 to 30 years in prison, if it's a far more critical wound 40 years, and he should not see a parole board until the minimum of those numbers are met. If he commits the crime when he gets out, back for life, no parole. If he murders, either life no parole, or death, depending on how good the evidence is. No stretching it out for 10 years. They get their first automatic appeal, then it's to the chair. No more lethal injection, no nice calm peaceful death. You are a murderer, you die on the lightning and that's just the way it is. Take a good long hard look at who's committing most of these crimes, and look at where most of them occur. If you get caught selling drugs while armed, same time frame. If you get caught with over 5 kilos of fentanyl, life in prison. If you get caught with 1-5 kilos, you spend the next 40 years in prison, before you see a parole board. Less then 1 kilo, but more then a gram, you get to go away for 25 years. No more bullshit excuses. Drugs USED to be a non violent offense, now, it's very different. Fentanyl changed EVERYTHING. It has fueled crime, violence, and caused death and suffering. Giving someone ONE SINGLE pill, could kill them, JUST LIKE ONE FUCKING BULLET COULD. Put them in prison, and be done with them. Before anyone's rights are infringed upon, the crime and those that commit them, need to pay for what they've done.
