How about severe penalties for illegal weapons possession? Make possession of such a
federal offense - minimum five years.

Most illegal purchases are a federal crime now had have been since the
Johnson administration, including BAO's "hopping across the line to
buy a gun at a show" (at least 2 counts for each gun)

There are plenty of laws, just not a lot of enforcement

I'm talking possession, not purchase. I think federal judges might be a bit more
severe in their punishments.

Every possession represents a sale, transfer (the same in the law) or
a theft.
It is simply an unenforced crime when that was done illegally.

The only way the cops usually fond out about a "possession" is when
they are investigating another crime and the gun charge gets traded
away or simply not even billed.
