Here's an idea: Draft some reasonable legislation that responds to some
of the anti-gun crowd concerns but doesn't infringe on anyone's right to
own a firearm.

The most successful program seems to be keeping violent felons in jail
longer.
The left complains that we lock too mane people up but most of them
are non violent offenders. Even so, the crime rate is falling at about
the same rate as incarceration rates.

Ever watch "Lock Up" on MSNBC (Friday and Saturday evenings)

Not too many people watch MSNBC.

Many of the violent offenders in prison have absolutely no clue what
living a normal, law abiding life is all about. They live in a narrow
little world and many feel *they* are the victims. I get the sense that
no amount of therapy or rehabilitation will ever permanently change
their views or lifestyle. It's almost like it's in their DNA.

You need to do some serious root cause analysis to find out why the
inhabitants of jails and prisons are there. The problem is not the
judicial system, it goes further back into their lives than their first
encounter with the police.

That's why the show is interesting. It goes into that sort of stuff.
It's not a liberal political thing like the rest of the MSNBC programing.
