This is about criminals, in Chicago, shooting and such.

When I saw the headline, initially I thought it was a story about Congress and moat other politicians.

My bad.

“A fairer and more accurate way for judges to assess a given defendant’s risk is through a validated algorithmic risk assessment tool (RAT), which calculates risk based on attaching weights to a variety of factors like criminal history and age,”

Can’t we just have states AG’s with the approval of local government declare that any crimes committed with a firearm receive a mandatory 5 years added to their sentence, non-negotiable and cannot be negotiated away in court?
