We do not have gun crime in the United States because we have too many guns......
We do not have gun crime in the United States because normal people own guns for self defense, hunting, collecting and sport...
We have gun crime in the U.S. because of the democrat party...........
Conviction #6
In the spring of 2019, prosecutors charged Damien Stewart, then 28, with a long list of serious charges after an incident in the South Shore neighborhood: Class X armed habitual criminal, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon with previous convictions, ten counts of aggravated battery of police, aggravated assault of a peace officer by using a firearm, an DUI.On May 6, Stewart and Cook County prosecutors struck a plea deal to resolve the matter. Prosecutors agreed to drop all charges except one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm with a previous conviction.
Then, with that one remaining charge, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge to Class 4 aggravated unlawful use of a weapon — the least-serious level of felony in the state.
Stewart, who had been facing a mandatory sentence of six to 30 years in prison on just one of the charges against him, received a sentence of three years, which was offset entirely by the time he spent on electronic monitoring and in jail before he pleaded guilty, court records show. Judge James Linn oversaw the case and sentenced Stewart on May 6.
The next day, Stewart arrived at the Stateville Correctional Center. And he walked out the same day, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records.
State records show Stewart received a five-year sentence in 2015 for his fifth gun conviction, six years in 2010 for his fourth gun, three years for his third in 2009, and two years each for his first and second guns in 2008.
Contrary to what might be expected, Stewart’s prison sentences are becoming shorter with each of his recent convictions.
Gun #7?
Stewart, still on parole for that conviction, appeared in Chicago’s felony bond court on New Year’s Eve to face another set of charges after he allegedly sped away from cops who saw a gun in his car during a traffic stop.He didn't even spend time in prison for his 6th felony gun conviction. Now he's charged with his 7th.
Prosecutors gave Damien Stewart a very, very sweet deal for his 6th felony gun conviction in May. He didn't spend a single night in prison for it. Friday, he was charged with having yet another gun. Welcome to Chicago.
