Again we lock up more people for nonviolent crimes an drug offenses than anyone.Life in prison.
Here's the rundown of what we should do.
Commit any crime while in possession of a firearm even if that firearm is not drawn get an automatic 10 years no parole. Thus would make the act of illegally carrying a weapon one that gets you put away for 10 years.
Discharge a firearm while committing any crime even if no one is injured 20 years no parole.
Discharge a firearm during the commission of a crime and either injure or kill anyone life no parole.
Again, we already lock up 2 million people and have another 7 million on parole or probation, rendering them effectively unemployable and increasing the probability they will return to crime.
We don't have room for the real criminals we have now. If locking people up was the answer, we'd have the lowest crime rates in the industrialized world, not the highest.
I don't know how many times I have to tell you that it would be a simple thing to have nonviolent offenders serve alternate sentences so that prison space can be reserved to violent pieces of shit
