I want to get criminals off the streets. I want the whole nation to wake up to the fact that we can't carry on like this--with this level of gun violence. I want every hoodlum to know that carrying that unlicensed, unregistered gun is going to get him serious jail time. Guaranteed.
Then instead of thinking of ways to punish honest, law-abiding citizens, you should actually do something to improve things. I can think of several things you could do that would actually help.
1. Work in your state to ensure that criminals actually SERVE THEIR SENTENCES. There are already plenty of gun laws on the books to punish people who illegally use firearms. The problem is that our criminal justice program has completely broken down and criminals are no longer seriously punished. What would YOU be willing to do to ensure that criminals are actually punished? Would you be willing to have serious punishments for serious crimes? Would you be willing to take tv out of prison? Would you be willing to take weights and basketball courts out of prison? What exactly would you be willing to do to ensure people don't want to go to prison?
2. Work in your state to elect judges that will severely punish criminals that are involved in gun crime.
3. Do some SERIOUS research into gun violence and learn the truth about it. THINK about the REALITY of the situation, instead of always buying into the lies and socialist propaganda. Find out what happens when cities, states, and countries ban guns (GUN VIOLENCE GOES UP). Find out what happens when citizens carry guns - violent crime goes down.
4. Quit railing against something you know absolutely nothing about. Go to a gun range and learn to shoot. You'll soon see that guns DON'T KILL ANYONE! If they did, it would be a massacre in millions of American homes. Believe it or not, I have several guns and not a single one of them has even threatened me, let alone shot me. The just stay where they are put, without complaint, without threats, without 'going off'. LOL!
