Why not cancel the jail releases they’ve got planned?
Because that would make sense.
Why not cancel the pending relase of terrorists in Gitmo?
Simply applying and ENFORCING the laws already on the books would go a LONG way to cut down much of the violence associated with guns.
Persons who use weapons in a criminal way, whether discharged or not, in urban conditions, upon apprehension should be tried and given punishment to the full extent of the law, and adult punishment should apply, regardless of the perpetrator’s age at time of the transgression.
Prisons should not become merely academies for creating better criminals, but an almost total isolation and very limited interaction, only between the convicted prisoner and any plan of rehabilitation, continued until the prisoner has undergone real rehabilitation, and not just “good behavior”. Only then may parole be considered, but even on parole, the former inmate is constantly monitored, util the terms of the sentence have been fulfilled. This alone would greatly reduce recidivism.
