“The four newly proposed measures would automatically transfer to adult court cases of 15- to 17-year olds arrested with a gun; require at least five years behind bars for felons caught with weapons; require 10 years in prison for people who point guns at police and firefighters responding to emergencies; and make it a felony to commit a crime with a child in tow if that child is injured by gunfire.”

I don’t have much of a problem with these laws, as they tend to go after bad guys. I’m not sure that the NAACP will be all that happy with these laws, however, as they will lose a lot of members to the penal system, if they are applied fairly.

They might be pretty good laws if coupled with shall issue CCW.
