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.
To the linked news story…..
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)
