A four-time loser is someone who is sentenced for a crime then released then commits another crime X 3.” . . .That's not what it suggests to me.

But that's what it is.

I believe the probation was for carrying a gun at school but I may be incorrect. Perhaps the six-year sentence was for carrying a gun at school although I would hope that even you would find that a bit extreme.

Regardless, I'm not faulting Huckabee for this one.

That doesn't mean, btw, that I am a Huckabee supporter or that I want him for president.

Dear Tribune7,

“But that’s what it is.”

In your view.

From my perspective, someone already convicted of felonies from four different events spread over a period of months is a four-time loser. Especially since there was at least one intervening period where the individual wasn’t in custody.

“Perhaps the six-year sentence was for carrying a gun at school although I would hope that even you would find that a bit extreme.”

That’s my best guess.

No, I don’t consider a sentence of six years to be excessive in a state where one wouldn’t expect that the convicted person likely would serve as much as 18 months. I know that in some states, crimes with a firearm add five years to the underlying sentence. That seems reasonable to me.

The right to bear arms comes with the responsibility to bear them wisely and legally.
