"The simplest solution is to make ALL gun crimes federal crimes. IF you use a gun while committing a crime you spend 25 years in jail. And, if you fire the weapon while committing a crime you spend the rest of your natural life in jail.

PROBLEM WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF!"

Yep, since every American peasant is always breaking some law. Great idea! Make more laws. [Little irony and sarcasm there.] Besides, toward the end of the default process, nearly all of us will be peasants. Most of the so-called economy is running on debt.

I am not really for making new laws. I actually think that if we take the existing laws and then make sure that breaking those laws will carry a punishment that deters criminals we would be just fine.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years and the guy that killed Michael Jackson got five years. Seems like Blago would have been better off killing Michael Jackson. I am not crying for either person, but does the punishment seem correct.

I still say that if the law stated that if you fire a weapon in the commission of a crime you spend the rest of your natural life in jail. After all if you fire a weapon while committing a crime you have no business in society. This would make people think.

Do you know that from the time that FL passed it right to carry law violent crime dropped 23%, and since they passed the stand your ground law it dropped 53%. i think the number speak for themselves.
