Here is a chance to see if exisiting laws are sufficient to effect the gun issue.

SrA John Monette - They would be, IF they were enforced. The problem isn't a need for more gun laws, but rahter ENFORCING the existing gun laws. There are somewhere in the range of 50,000 gun laws - how many more are needed?

SSG Bill McCoy - the other issue with gun laws is they are the first thing bartered away by District Attorneys.

LTC David Brown - Yup! Plea bargaining can be a good thing, but in most cases - especially invovling gun violations, it's not. Our DA has a slogan, "Not in our back yard!" relating to gun and drug crimes. Yet EVERY case is plea bargained down with at best, a moderate sentence with "time served," while awaiting trail counted and far too many are immediatley paroled. Part of that's on the judges, but the DA never pushes for max punishments.

Stupid is as stupid does. You do the crime you pay the time. Where did I hear that phrase from?
