No solution exists, except to put every criminal in prisons? And who defines "Criminal"? A man who steals formula for his infant son? And which mass murderer of recent time has had a criminal record?
Another stupid post by M14. The evidence is mounting that he is thoughtless.
There are solutions to every problem, but liberals don't have the guts to implement them.
20 years in prison for having a firearm you're not supposed to be in possession of. Arm more good citizens and promote good people carrying their guns. Make laws much more lenient for those who are legally armed. Give them the backing of our government should they need to use a firearm for protection.
Your platitude is thoughtless and biased. Use a gun, go to prison, and three strikes have filled our prisons and are the primary reason the St. Prison system in California busted the budget.
All of which were passed by a dominant Democratic Legislature and signed by Republican Governors. At the same time Mental Health, Probation and Parole have had budget reductions, the former two resulted in the State raiding county revenue, and Parole greatly limited in terms of time under supervision, do to the liberals push for determinant sentencing.
I'd explain in detail, but facts always upset conservatives. Really now, cognitive dissonance isn't fatal.
Nope...gun criminals are out quickly, and serve little time.
Why do you make stuff up? You're not smart enough to fool anyone, and those of us who spent three + decades working in the criminal justice system see through you.
