"This I think will go a long way as a deterrent effect to try and stop some of the very violent crimes that are happening in our state with the use of firearms," said Houston State Senator Joan Huffman, author of SB-23.

ReplyDeleteDumbass, there are already laws like this on the books around the country and they have absolutely no impact on whether criminals use guns to during the commission of their crimes.
Preventing crime requires citizens who don't commit crimes. One reason not to commit crimes is punishment, however if the punishment is a slap on the wrist, then why not commit crimes. If ever convicted violent felon was given a pair of dice and had to roll them, even you go to prison, odd you go to the electric chair today, there would, I think, be fewer crimes committed.
At one time, the feds had proposed (and implemented I thought) the additional time for gun-related charges. Since the federal government is obviously slanted, the states should pick up the slack (what they should have been doing all along)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere I read that mandatory sentencing laws end up with more plea bargains.
ReplyDeletePlea bargains should never apply to mandatory sentences.
DeleteThe mandatory added time has to be for enumerated offenses such as robbery, murder, burglary, kidnapping, etc., so that someone who shoots a burglar breaking down their door (in some states too soon) can’t get an enhancement.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a tool the antigun folks will use to go after self defense shooters, "brandishing" etc. Yeah, oughta work just fine. Nothing to see here..move along citizens.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Thats kinda my concern, Sure it sounds "good" but the devil is in the detail and the Soros supported DA, "We think that it throws such a big net that it catch a lot of people it really didn't intend to," said Betty Blackwell with the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. This was a quote from the article, According to "Google" the Sponsor is a GOPer, but I wonder what will added to the bill to make it toxic.
Deletethe sullivan laws in ny state worked wonders. of course that was 40+ years ago
