"So, are you saying you agree with Eric Holder’s proposal?"
The Att'y General's proposal in itself is class warfare politics as it serves to empower the current underclass in exchange for perpetual loyalty to the Democrats (votes). Same as the entitlements.
However, parts of the currents system are de-facto an
orphaned holdover from a different era. They
made sense in the context of Traditional America (circa 1800's) where different balances AND yes,
different remedies existed, which
do not exist today.
In 1901 we used to give guns back to the felons who served their time immediately when they were freed from prison. We are not
that America anymore in so many ways.
We do not live in the world of nine or so common-law felonies. Instead, there are multiple state and federal statutory crimes, that make criminal justice an overly blunt instrument.
We need to look at this in more ways than one.
