We don’t need new gun laws. What we need is the courts to enforce the laws on hand.
There was a kid in his 20s who shot and killed a friend of his and said it was a accident. The fact is another young kid was dead for no reason at all.
What was he doing with a gun in the first place?
The bottom line is he only got 18 months to eight years in jail, whereas he should have gotten years in jail just for having a gun, never mind taking a life with it. He was just one of many people who carry a gun and commit a crime who are not charged at all for carrying a gun.
What ever happened to the old saying, “You do the crime, do the time”? Carrying a gun should mean doing more time.
