Criminal control is the only gun control that works..catch, lock em up...

This is the best gun control...catch a felon using a gun, and lock them up....that way they can't commit crimes with guns, and you don't have to bother law abiding citizens.....from my old stomping grounds....

Feds arrest felon after visit to gun range


Federal agents arrested a Chicago man and felon after they learned of his recent visit to a gun range.

Labor Spann, 36, faces federal gun charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to the complaint, Spann visited the range Midwest Sporting Goods in Lyons, Illinois, on Sept 14 with two others where they rented a Glock 19 pistol.

Allegedly, one of the individuals rented the Glock and proceeded to the firing line with Spann and the other person. Spann allegedly load ammo into a magazine, inserted it into the pistol and then shot at the target, emptying the magazine.

Spann then allegedly loaded additional magazines into the firearm twice and handed it to the others, who each shot at targets and emptied the magazines.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Chicago Police Department worked together investigating the incident.

If convicted of being a felon-in-possession of a firearm, Spann could be sentenced to a maximum 10 years in prison and a $250,000 maximum fine.

There should be mandatory minimums for those who brandish a firearm during commission of a crime. Steal a Snicker's bar, show the clerk a gun (play gun or not, BB gun or not, loaded or not, fired or not), you go bye bye for 20 years if found guilty. No parole, no time off for good behavior, no 2-1 or 3-1 working.

Twenty

Long

Years

Do it once you get out and have a previous felony conviction, good bye for life.

See...we actually agree on this......this guy should do the whole 10 years.....

For example, we had a shooting in Chicago, at a park.....the 3 guys who did it....2 of them had been in jail for weapons charges...they were sentenced to only 3 years....and then had that dropped down to 18 months because they did a "Boot Camp." And shortly after getting out...they shot up a park and hurt a lot of people....

What we need is criminal control...catch someone using a gun in a crime...send them away....catch a felon in possession of a gun...send them away for a long time...

That is the secret in Japan....the criminals are afraid of being caught in possession of a gun.....that keeps them from carrying them....and using them.....and the cops can stop and search anyone they want for whatever reason they want at anytime they want......that also keeps gun crime down in Japan....

The sad thing is that you don't know who needs to be locked up until they have already done something and once its done, it can't be erased and done over differently.

God bless you always!!!

No...we keep letting out felons who use guns in crimes.....happens all the time, the gun is used as a bargaining chip to get them to plea to other crimes....we had 3 guys shoot up a park, two of them were just out having been sentenced to 3 years for a weapons violation...they were allowed to do a boot camp and were out in 18 months...then, as soon as they got out..they shot up a park.......we aren't locking up the right criminals long enough.....

Our jails are overflowing with prisoners right now
Unfettered access to guns does not help

Lock them up.....AFTER they have killed someone
