According to an npr poll, 6/10 Americans want to prioritize gun safety over gun rights. This shit poll was of 1200 people, hardly a legitimate sample size and who only knows who they polled-my guess is a liberal city and they stayed the fuck out of rural areas.
And with only 1200 people in the sample, I can’t imagine they hit many areas and probably stood on a corner in nyc asking people about guns. Many of those questioned stated that the most effective way to lower gun violence is by banning assault weapons. You know, the scary guns that account for 1% of the shootings vs handguns, which account for the rest. The poll also had very limited choices such as “ban the assault weapons?” “Arm teachers” or “none of the above”, which is what I would have selected.
I think we should enforce the gun laws on the books and throw said book at anyone involved in a gun crime. If you shoot someone with a gun and don’t kill then, you should be looking at 10-15 years depending on criminal background. If they actually kill Simone, 25-life with the death penalty most certainly on the table and strongly encouraged. But my version of the death penalty is that as soon as the last appeal is complete, you give them their last meal, take them out back for a firing squad because they used a firearm toners someone, they deserve to go out the same way. Use a gun to rob someone, 15 years. Felon in possession of a firearm, 5 years minimum full sentence. If they have significant violence in their history, at least ten years. But you have progressive prosecutors that refuse to prosecute felons with firearms for absurd reasons. larry krasner of Philly refuses to prosecute felons with firearms because it mostly affects minorities. The same minorities that are involved in ridiculous amounts
Of shootings and murders. Meanwhile, krasner slams the nra and second amendment and lax gun laws for causing all the violence in his city and the country, yet refuses to prosecute the people Most likely to leave bodies in the street or carjack someone simply
Because they are black, which is also why they don’t want to increase the penalties for shooting someone or killing them.
But it’s not just progressive cities. In my city which is not progressive, we just have weak and lazy prosecutors that loves to sentence people to what we called the 1+1 sentence.
For a violent felony, you have to serve at least one year, so they give these shitbags the absolute min of one year plus one day so it achieves the one year min. The guy that shot at me had gotten out the same day for a 1+1 after a crackwhore rob him of his product so he went to the house of the John she was staying with and he fired 8 shots through the front door, then he pistol whipped the guy, dragged the girl outside and put the gun to her head and pulled the trigger but the round jammed and she was able to run away. The night he shot at me, he got into a shootout with rival drug dealers from above Pittsburgh and when I came around the corner to go to the guy who was gut shot, he aimed and fired four shots at me.
I have dozens of examples of these types of weak ass min sentences and could still even tell you the name of these asshole criminals and update you on how these tries reoffended often in violent ways.
