@Marker…..I agree that anyone can become a felon. However, if one continues to break the law after said conviction, the penalty needs to be severe to prevent a reoccurace.
Please believe. Anyone can become a felon over night. So, be careful of the ideas for resolutions that you come up with. That just may be your stopping point in the near future.
A convicted felon I possession of a firearm? It is a daily read these days which should lead to more severe penalties. Now is the time for politicians and lawmakers to solve the gun violence problems. How about convicted felons in possession of a firearm get life with no chance of parole? There’s a guarantee to reduce these crimes.
