It is just insane...the anti-gunners come on here, go on news shows, push for more and more laws...then the democrats in power keep letting known, violent gun offenders out of jail on short sentences....it is insane.....and part of the plan. It is hard to push gun control when normal gun owners just won't use their guns for crime or murder.....so what do you do if you are a gun grabbing democrat? You release violent gun offenders who actually will use guns illegally....
Since California Won't Put Those Convicted of Gun Crimes Away Long Enough, The Federal Government Is Doing it For Them - The Truth About Guns
But as happened in Selma, local police in California have increasingly been turning to federal authorities for help prosecuting gun crimes. The reason? [Criminals like William Carl] Adkins and people like him face far more time behind federal bars than they would if they were prosecuted under state law.
California’s tough gun laws aren’t tough enough, it turns out — and guess who’s stepping in
The program under which his case is being handled, Project Safe Neighborhoods, got its start in 2001 under President George W. Bush. It fell out of favor during the Obama administration, but the Justice Department under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinstated it.
The idea is to seek out suspects considered to be especially dangerous and maximize their prison time by prosecuting them through the federal system.
Under California law, felons caught in possession of a firearm could face up to three years in prison. That sentence could be reduced by half for good behavior. Some felons caught with guns end up doing time in county jails

Under federal law, however, they face 10 years in prison, and must serve at least 85% of that sentence. Since 2018, 175 individuals have been indicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm in the Eastern District, and 161 have been sentenced to prison.
Under my plan? If they are caught in possession of an illegal gun as a criminal....30 years.....if they use that gun in the commission of a crime...life. That is how you stop gun crime ......
