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.
Years ago in Maryland, armed robbers discharged the firearm during the
robbery. They knew they would be caught, and armed robbery was 20- life.
Plea bargain to assault by shooting and get 2-5, and out in 18 months. Do
not know hat the rules are these days. But scumbags know their way around
the laws.
