Delete comment from: The War on Guns
In most Virginia cities, gangs rule, even the neighborhoods surrounding police precinct stations. IF they're caught in an act of violence, they turn out to have a long violent record, yet they get a suspended sentence, on top of all their previous suspended sentences. If they REALLY mess somebody up bad, they might get 10 years, with 9 years and 6 months SUSPENDED, on the maiming, and 5 years, no break, on using a gun in a felony, with "convicted felon in possession of a gun" DROPPED. A 5-year gun charge instead of 20-to-life for attempted murder, that's an excellent bargain. Judges are jaded; just more meat down the conveyor belt.
