A murderer gets a lesser penalty? Then the solution is to increase the sentence for murderers, not reduce sentences for armed drug dealers

The sentence should should be in proportion to the crime. This sentence clearly is not. Unjust sentencing like unjust laws foster disrespect for the law.

I agree. It is outrageous how judges in several states have given a pass to violent pedophiles. There should be mandatory minimum sentences.

Do you favor harsher sentences for speeders who carry a gun? Embezelling accountants who carry a gun? Tax evaders who carry a gun?

You are right on! Leave this law alone and make harsher the laws on Murder,Rape,Terrorism, etc. etc. And on top of that, REALLY INVOKE AND CARRY OUT DEATH SENTENCES.
