This is actual common sense gun control….that actually targets criminals, and not normal gun owners.

This is a great idea……increase the penalties for someone who steals a gun…the guy at Extranosalley suggests 5 years per gun no parole….perfect….I completely support this idea….steal 3 guns, 15 years no parole…..see how soon thugs stop stealing or spend more time in the clink…

There Is A Bill That Needs An Urgent Push | Extrano's Alley, more than a gun blog

he Dover, New Hampshire Democrat reports two New Hampshire lawmakers want to increase the penalty for the theft of a firearm.

Given that stolen guns enable some 360,000 gun related crimes a year, the usual “petty larceny” penalties for stealing a collection is woefully inadequate. My personal suggestion is five years per gun, with no probation or parole, ever. If someone steals three guns fifteen years is a moderate penalty compared to the potential lifetime criminal misuse of a gun will sentence a law abiding citizen to.

N.H. bill would up punishment for stealing guns in burglary


CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Two New Hampshire lawmakers are co-sponsoring a bill that makes the theft of a gun during a burglary a more serious crime with more jail time.The bill from Republican Al Baldasaro of Londonderry and Democrat Katherine Rogers of Concord would add "theft of a gun" to a list of crimes considered the worst of burglaries.It raises the punishment from a Class B felony to a Class A felony, which means convicts face an additional 20 years in jail for the theft. They say the approach is consistent with other New Hampshire laws that carry stiffer penalties for crimes committed when a gun is involved.The bill will be heard by the House Criminal Justice Committee on at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in the Legislative Office Building.


How much do you want to bet anti gunners will fight this…..?

I got a better one

You sell a gun to a criminal...YOU get 5 years no parole for each gun you sell

How does the seller know what future crime the buyer will commit?

If he was a choir boy when you sold the gun, you get off scott free

If he was a convicted criminal and you sell him a gun, you should go to jail

Agree?


No, you shouldn't…..you are not a cop, and guns are a legal product. Arrest the guy who bought the gun illegally, he is the criminal.

It is not legal to sell guns to criminals......you sold a gun to a criminal

You did the crime, you do the time
Maybe you will know better the next time (there will be no next time....you are now a convicted criminal and must give up all your guns)
 
gee...how do you keep that from happening? better gun registration and keeping people like you from buying/selling guns privately

This has been said before. Better gun registration how? What specific change, addition or deletion to gun registration would you recommend added or changed?

if you sell a gun to someone privately and they commit a crime I have never heard of a law suit finding liability against the seller.

but do tell.


why should they be held accountable for someone else actions

if you sold a car to someone and they later killed someone in a drunk driving accident

should you go to jail for it

You have a registered gun

You sell your gun to a known criminal. Your gun is used in a crime. You go to jail

All gun crime convicts are held in a segregated population, allowed weapons and no contact with guards or staff.

It is cheaper to keep them in jail than to have them creating carnage outside.

Actually it is more expensive in the long run. You do realize how much it costs to keep a person incarcerated don't you?











No, it's not. When you factor in the pain and misery of the victims and the very real monetary loss that they suffer. Add to that the long term psychological harm they suffer and it is a no brainer. The most violent 10% of the criminal population commit 80% of the violent crime. Keep them locked up and look at all that violence that go's away.

Too many of those incarcerated are non violent offenders. They need to be released so that the violent ones can be kept there.

Yes, they do, unfortunately. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen through no fault of their own. But lets take your line of "logic" further, a worker, who is working with a convicted felon, but doesn't know it because no one at the company is allowed to tell him his prior history (actually a law in many places) sells the man a shotgun for hunting purposes. The ex felon then cuts that shotgun down and uses it to commit a horrible murder, now, according to you, the innocent law abiding co-worker should go to prison for the rest of his life because he didn't know the coworker was a felon, and more to the point laws that YOU support make it illegal for his employer to tell him so.

The point is EVERYONE pays less taxes in the long run when you reduce violent crime. Less people in prison means fewer taxes to pay for them (the prisons) overall. More violent felons locked up forever means fewer cops needed to investigate their crimes which means less of them and the whole system begins to shrink. That is the point.

Sorry but your method is going to put MORE people in jail and that means MORE money will be needed. You also falsely pair violent crime with guns. There are many types of violent crimes committed without guns.

You either put up with more taxes or shut up.

You keep proposing the magical solution of putting these guys in jail for long sentences. I wouldn't disagree except then I have to pay to feed and house these assholes for however many years. Where have you been, 2AGuy? states and the feds are looking at releasing non-violent offenders because they can't afford it anymore. If incarceration was actually an effective deterrent, the US wouldn't have more citizens incarcerated than any other nation in the world. We're doing something wrong already. Let's not make it wrong-er!

Federal Register | Annual Determination of Average Cost of Incarceration
 
I have a better idea... don't give guns to spouse and child abusers and people convicted of violent crime....or people who are crazies.
gee...how do you keep that from happening? better gun registration and keeping people like you from buying/selling guns privately
:lol:

So there shouldn't be laws against robbery since robberies happen anyway?

Most violent gun crime is committed by people who have committed violent crimes before. They are a small percentage of the overall criminal population. Why is it that YOU want to see them continuously released?

This has been said before. Better gun registration how? What specific change, addition or deletion to gun registration would you recommend added or changed?

You're right it's been said before. And I've already mentioned one specific way -- by requiring registration for private sales. Making sure that the federal dada base reflects all relevant information when someone at a gun show tries to buy a weapon. And a waiting period of 48 hours to do any background check whether someone is purchasing a weapon at a gun show or at a licensed gun shop.

And once that information is available keeping guns away from crazies, criminals and abusers
