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. Here you go. This report has only the states that require a license or permit to have a handgun. It lists the penalties for possession without a license/permit and also lists penalties for minors and convicted felons. It says that only about 13 states have laws that require a license or permit. No penalties are shown for those states without a license or permit requirement because ... well, it's not against the law. Crazy. https://www.cga.ct.gov/2012/rpt/2012-R-0345.htm Funny... in the section: "Criminal Penalties for Illegal Possession of Handguns by Convicted Felons", in SC, TX, FL and CT it's a felony, but in MD it's just a misdemeanor. Don't want to be too hard on those poor felons, eh? |
