Gov. Jerry Brown Signs Bill Removing Penalty for Using Gun in Crime
breitbart ^ | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/30/2017 9:17:59 AM PDT by davikkm

At the end of the latest legislation session Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a bill removing mandatory enhanced sentencing for criminals who use guns in the commission of their crimes. He did this at the same time that he signed other legislation making it illegal for teachers to be armed on K-12 campuses for self-defense.

Liberal logic–teachers are not allowed to shoot back if under attack and criminals face no mandatory sentence enhancement for using a gun in carrying out an attack.

Assembly Bill 424 made it illegal for teachers to be armed for self-defense and Senate Bill 620 removed the mandatory enhancement for using a gun for crime. SB 620 removed the mandatory enhancement from the Penal Code and placed it at the discretion of the judge presiding over the case.

The ChicoER observed, “So on one hand Brown and the Legislature make it more difficult for a teacher to protect children against gun-wielding criminals, while on the other they reduce potential penalties for gun-wielding criminals.”

Doesn’t want to penalize the ‘RAT base, whose votes keep him and his fellow pond scum in power.

Proof that Democrats only want criminals to have and use guns.

“Never let a crisis go to waste.”

Problem for the Dems (apparently) — there are not enough crises. So they would like to make it more likely that really, really bad stuff happens. Preferably involving children. So sad. But then they can legislate for a big increase in their Power To Do Good.

It’s all part of the plan.

Now wait. We have to follow the liberal logic here. We shouldn’t need a law about criminals using guns because criminals can’t have guns per existing laws. So it must be redundant.

CA needs to pass a law that requires all criminals to understand the laws concerning criminal acts.

Gun crimes must not be a problem in California.

Huh. The one form of gun control that might possibly work. Interesting logic there, moonbeam.

This guy is completely and utterly insane. Last month, didn’t he change from a felony to a misdemeanor anyone who purposely gives AIDs to a sex partner? And this on top of making California a sanctuary state.

Democrats have a consistent stance on law enforcement: persecute decent people who own and use firearms responsibly, but never, ever prosecute thugs who use firearms in the commission of a violent crime. This makes sense to Hillary, Pelosi, Colin (2-14 loser) Kaepernick, and other failures at life, but not to any decent person.

Democrats embrace thieves and murderers and terrorists.

A tradition.

As much as I loved living in California as a child and would like to do a grand tour with my wife and family as a ‘bucket list’ vacation(s) I simply can’t justify going to a third world socialist society on vacation. No freedom, no protection, no future. All this in the name of cheap domestic labor for the middle class in the sixties/seventies.

Satan is delighted with Brown and California. Soon, their father, Satan, will take them down completely.
