Let me know the next time you hear of a doctor prescribing 12000 doses of Percocet to a single patient.
Or the next time a pharmacy sells five vases of OxyContin to someone.
LEGALLY
Then you just MIGHT have a point.
I'm not saying take your gun or your ammo.
But with some purely common sense regulation that will deny a firearm to no one legally entitled we can reduce gun crime significantly.
But if you're going to complain about gun crime
While flooding the country with guns
and opposing any reasonable legislation
while "lock all 'THEM' up for life" is your only solution
Then in reality you don't want gun crime lowered. You just want something for which you can wrongly blame Democrats.
Wait a minute. I've purchased guns obviously. When I did, they required a drivers license. They had to fire a round from that gun I was purchasing for the national ballistics records. They did a federal background check on me. Therefore nobody that is not qualified to purchase a weapon can. So what more regulation are you talking about here?
Most criminals do not get their firearm from a gun store. They get them on the street. The few that have purchased weapons from a gun store were legally (by federal government standards) allowed to do so because prior to that, they had no criminal record.
I do want gun crime lowered, but that's impossible to do when the commies have legal gun owners in their target. So how do we do that? Simple:
Anybody caught carrying an illegal firearm faces a minimum of 10 years in prison.
Anybody using a firearm in a crime faces a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison.
Anybody using a firearm that illegally kills another person is an automatic death sentence.
Any straw buyer that knowingly buys a gun for a criminal to commit criminal activity faces a 25 year minimum prison sentence.
As per the OP, anybody that used a firearm in a crime gets no bail for any amount of money.
