You are using an incorrect definition of gun crime. Gun crime is not when you use a gun in a crime; that's called a crime. Gun crime is when a gun is stolen or a stolen gun trafficked and that's pretty much all that is gun crime.The way you drop gun crime? You lock up the criminals who commit gun crime...for really long periods of time....
this has the added advantage of not bothering normal gun owners because they don't use their guns for crime or violence...
If they really wanted to bring crime down to civilized levels, they wouldn’t even need to reinvent the wheel to do so.
Florida had a violent crime crisis long ago. Then they implemented a 10-20-Life law. Bad guys toting guns in the commission of violent crimes got a 10-year sentencing enhancement on top of the underlying crime. There were no options for plea bargains, probation or early release. This was hard time.
Thugs discharging their guns picked up twenty extra years, effectively taking them out of circulation for a generation. And if their shots wounded or killed anyone, they got a 25-years to Life enhancement, keeping them locked up for even longer.
With a few short years under 10-20-Life, Florida’s firearm violent crime numbers fell to historic lows.
Chicago’s Violent Crime problem could be solved in a matter of months if Illinois political leaders really wanted it to stop
We ridiculed Murder City USA Mayor Brandon Johnson’s clumsy, dim-witted proposal to buy votes to reduce the rampant violent crime that’s leaving his city a total cesspool of crime and v…www.gunssavelife.com
But....why wouldn't democrats want to lower the gun crime and murder rates?
Could it be that they believe that high gun crime and gun murder rates give them the best chance they have to ban and confiscate guns?
Errrr...yup...........
Robbery with a gun is exactly the same as robbery with a knife. Is a woman raped at knife point less raped than the woman raped at gun point? Of course not.
If you commit a violent crime, go to prison for 10 years. If you do it again, go to prison for 20 years. If you do it a third time, then life without parole. The weapon you choose has nothing to do with it as we have learned in the UK. How do the gun add-ons help when the most common implement of crime now is a knife in the UK.
Imagine had Florida implemented the same standards for all violent crimes instead of just those crimes where the criminal carried a gun? Then all violent crime, not just those exact same crimes but committed while carrying a gun, would have been greatly reduced.
