How do you all feel about raising the mandatory sentences for crimes where a gun is involved (robbery, assault, and worse)?

How do you feel about being lenient with robbers, rapists, etc. who refrain from using icky nasty guns for their crimes?

Well I’m for stricter sentences across the board. I would have alot more prisons operating, maybe more than some here would want, maybe less.

Our justice system has created and continues to create a new class of citizens, the criminal class. They cause harm, get caught (hopefully), get convicted (hopefully), and imprisoned. Unfortunately in many cases these people become more dangerous, and then they are released into our civilization to pick up where they left off.

Could be gang bangers, could be twisted individuals, I would prefer they were sent away for long stretches.

2-5 for robbery? make it 12-15. 5-10 for assault? 20-25.
rape? murder? life sounds good to me.

Too much?
