this story talks about the effort to end gun violence in Baltimore after the onset of the Ferguson effect.......With arrests up for gun possession in Baltimore, their gun murder rate hasn't gone down by much...why?
The reason is exactly what I and other 2nd Amendment supporters keep telling the gun grabbers.....gun criminals here in the United States are not being taken seriously....they get less than 3 years in most cities...and in Baltimore...1 year for felony possession of an illegal gun......,
So they get street cred with their gang for doing jail time...they get a promotion from their gang........and then they murder p pole its guns later.....
That is the exact reason we have more gun murder in the United States......as anti gunners keep pushing for more paperwork for law abiding gun owners.....the group of gun owners who are not shooting people with their guns...
Compare this to Japan......if you are merely caught with an illegal gun in Japan....you are,convicted in court...no plea bargain, no dropping the gun charge....and their system has a 99% conviction rate....you go to a Japanes jail for 30 years......30 years...
Interviews with Yakuza bosses by the press have pointed out that the bosses I'll no longer even look at an illegal gun.....to them...30 years is a life sentence...and this 30 year s nt nice has stopped the current yakuza gang war from going to the gun....
If you anti gunners would focus on actual criminals.....and stop bothering normal gun owners...ho you hate......we could actually save lives.....many of them minority lives....
Keep focusing on stupid issues like rifles and pointless, useless paperwork and bureaucratic hoops for law abiding gun owners and the killing will continue....
Baltimore's yearlong war on 'trigger pullers' and illegal guns, by the numbers
Davis believes one reason is that those arrested for guns in the city aren't landing in prison for long periods of time.
-----------------
Possession of an illegal gun in Baltimore is a misdemeanor rather than a felony, which Davis unsuccessfully tried to change during the last General Assembly session.
--------------
That means 52 people with illegal guns were put behind bars for a total of 65 years — just over a year per person, on average.
---------
Davis said police currently have a list of 431 "trigger pullers" and have identified 566 trigger pullers since the war room's creation.
Of those identified as trigger pullers, 11 have been arrested for murder, 28 have been arrested for attempted murder, and 80 have been arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, he said. Also, 32 have been killed, and 52 others have been wounded in shootings.
"We're convinced that we're looking at the right people who are disproportionately responsible for violence in the city. It happens from time to time that there will be an outlier, but we are looking at the right people," Davis said.
"We know who they are. They're in the game, they're choosing not to leave the game, and they choose to carry a gun again and again and again, because they know there's not a significant consequence for carrying a gun.
"And those are the people we have to continue to focus on."
Imagine if those 431 trigger pullers were caught carrying a gun.....and each one was sent to prison for 30 years..........instead of 1 year, if that........that is how you stop gun murder.....
Why won't democrats increase gun crime sentences.....because more blacks will go to jail for longer periods of time...and the racists in the democrat party will block that outcome every time th y try it..............eye would rather see minorities murdered in gun violence than let black killers go to jail...
