President Obama commuted the prison sentences Friday of 42 more inmates, nearly half of whom were serving life terms.

The commutations bring Mr. Obama’s total to 348, more than the previous seven presidents combined, as he pushes to grant clemency for people mostly convicted of nonviolent drug offenses.

White House counsel Neil Eggleston said those receiving clemency were serving prison terms “under outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws.”

Anyone convicted of manufacturing or selling illegal drugs is not in prison for a "non-violent" crime.

There will come a time where red blooded Americans will have to disappear their weapons, because these pardoned felons will be going door to door disarming “good folks”.
