And that doesn't work does it.......? Chicago has strict gun control laws.....and is passing record numbers of shooting deaths....while New York and L.A. with strict laws have lower gun murder numbers...why? Because L.A. and New York put criminals in jail longer than Chicago does....
New Orleans has lax gun controls and has a similar gun death rate
Unfortunately for Chicago, they can establish gun controls in their borders but anything goes outside their borders
As a country, we have 2.5 million people in jail. Five times the number we had thirty years ago. Prisons have not made us safer
Yeah and how many of those people in jail are nonviolent offenders?
We need to keep violent people off the street and come up with some alternative punishments for non violent offenders
The fact is that most felony convicts only actually serve less than 4 years
You want to stop gun crimes?
The put people who commit crimes with guns in jail for a minimum of 20 years and let the guy who was carrying an ounce of weed or coke do community service
