| 25. so why not just send them to federal court? |
|
Can't the locals call the ATF to come and take their happy asses away? Seriously, we have federal gun control laws since the 1930s (not counting the Uniform Pistol Act of 1927, which was pointless) and they are half assed enforced and rarely prosecuted. Especially is being a felon in possession. Local DAs make it disappear. I say we do something sane, and the one thing NRA and Brady Bunch actually agree with and send all federal gun crimes to federal court.
Rip off a gas station with a sawed offed shotgun or submachine gun? Locals get to for the robbery, then to federal prison for the gun. Felon in possession, same thing. We can make room by pardoning everyone in for pot use.
