What is a gun criminal? An artificial liberal concept trying to tie firearms to criminal behavior. Not a good analogy on a conservative forum.
So if I have this right, you're saying that because punishing drunk drivers isn't working now on the hard core offenders we should do more of it. These people simply don't care about licenses suspensions, jail time, etc, and before you advocate locking them up and trowing the key away, remember jail resources are limited and there are plenty of violent criminals like murderers, robbers, rapists, etc. that you have to balance available resources with. There might be more jail space availiable if the government gave up its absurd "war on drugs," but of course they will never do that. There are too many armed bureaucrats whose paychecks depend on it. Once a bad idea gets started in government it NEVER goes away.
No, the other way around. If one shot you, you would figure it out real fast.

Yeah, pretty much.

They'd play hell ignoring that now wouldn't they.

What's the difference if they kill with a gun or a car? They need to keep more of the criminals you mentioned locked up too.

I didn't suggest that, but it appears you swerved into a solution. Some of the drug dealers are violent criminals, but we could just put the regular drug offenders somewhere else...concentration camps (or whatever you want to call them). Same with pedophiles.
If they would start killing off liberal social programs which only generate feral criminal activity, and appropriate those funds for prison construction materials (letting chain-gangs do the heavy lifting) maybe the public would be getting it's money's worth.
of course they will never do that. There are too many armed bureaucrats whose paychecks depend on it. Once a bad idea gets started in government it NEVER goes away.
It will if you keep getting TEApublicans elected, replace as needed, until the socialist usurpation is reversed. That and banning government unions.
