Bruce: My point was that conviction for marijuana, or “sex crimes” WILL get you longer sentences than crimes committed with a firearm in most states. BTW, share a board with the Warden of that prison and last night we discussed the fact that living close as I do to it, if they DO have an escapee, or “walkaway”, I’m probably in the area LEAST LIKELY to be bothered by them, as they want to get out of the country, quickly.
Which, while the “public message” of the NRA is that criminals using guns should be locked away for a long time, their lobbying efforts over the last 20 years have actually blocked that!
