This Might be a Deterrent
If you make the punishment painful enough, it might make an impression:
A man who trafficked fentanyl and cocaine and illegally possessed 17 firearms inside his Wicker Park home has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison, officials announced Thursday.
Hugo Pinzon, 36, pleaded guilty to federal drug and firearm charges in exchange for the sentence from U.S. District Judge John Kness, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago.
And this was a guilty plea, so you know the feds were pushing for twenty years just for starters.
This is why Project Exile worked in Virginia for the short amount of time in was in effect - ten year minimum, federal time, far from home, no parole for any federal gun crime conviction.

Remember back thousands of years ago......or maybe during beetle juice's tenure the US attorney said they were going to take over gun crimes by felons? Remember those billboards that said felons in possession of a weapon ten years in prison? What the fu%* happened was ANYONE taken federally? A man can dream
So federal charging results in serious time.
Charging under state law does not????
Who is in charge of state laws?????
In Illinois???
Democrats???
9yrs in prison is all he gets for 17 guns, 12lbs of cocaine and $95,456 presumably seized?!?! That’s no kind of deterrent whatsoever. How about 1 year for each gun and each pound of cocaine? 9yrs is a joke.
How about this deterrent question buyout or let it ride on the pension.

Not long enough of a sentence. Plus, bet he was an illegal so now we still have to feed and house him.
Bringing back the death penalty would also work quite well.
Bingo.
10 yrs per gun, 10 yrs per bullet, 10 yrs per # of blow would be a great start...
served CONSECUTIVELY! no parole.
Gun Control Act of 1968, Codified as 18 USC 922, et seq..
Amen
Project Exile worked. That’s why gun controllers killed it.
We know what to do. We just don’t have the political will to do it.
How about staying on topic?
In the immortal words of Joe Dano "Ahhh, I don't think so." or how about "Wrongo." I know you want to dream it, but that not where he's born. Try Illinois You should have put your $$ money where your mouth is. I would gladly take it.
Look at this now they are attacking the firefighters vehicles, maybe cruise by the fire station and stop in as many of us has done years ago. They will even give you a nice meal. Keep an eye on them. We need them.

The Parole Supervisor in East St Louis started an unofficial program similar around 15 years ago. Every felony found in possession was automatically turned over to feds for prosecution. Along with increased checks and actually keeping track of repeat offenders. It was having great success and really making an impact there. Until IDOC made her shut it down because too many were being violated and locked up.
It will all still come down to the infamous observation made a few years ago- by a certain liberal IL politico- “ there are too many black and brown in jail”, without the explanation that too many commit the crimes that put them there. Hence, no bail, no jail, the Safe-T act, even Fed prosecutions taking pleas and reduced sentences.
That’s the way it works
And the thing is most of the victims are "black and brown." Unfortunately the Dems don't care about the victims as long as they continue to vote Democratic.
How do you "deter" people who video themselves for the Internet displaying an ankle monitor (that leg of the sweats pulled up to make sure you see it), a high-cap "switched" pistol in their hand, a bottle of hooch in the other hand and a blunt in their mouth - party time for all the folks/people you moved away from. Again. And again...
Ever get the feeling that you be a fool?
