All they got a few hours of community service and had to take a good guy course.

So very stupid.

I've said that violent gun crimes should be life in prison with no chance of parole. It takes a special brand of scum to take a gun aim right at a person, basically look them in the eye and take their lives.

I tend to think that once you've taken a life, especially with things like gang related crime that it becomes easier to keep doing it.

But at the end of the day, if you choose to use an illegal gun, you've made the choice to kill and there's no defense for that.

I don't believe that any method of gun control is going to work without the ability to remove gun killers from society on a permanent basis.

I don't believe that there is any reason to have a pistol on your person or in your house. I hate the self defense argument because it doesn't bear water for me because frankly your more then likely either going to f up and kill a family member or a pet or some innocent bystander in your panic, or your going to end up dead and the criminal is going to add a gun to his collection.

The best home defense is good insurance, a telephone and a good either escape plan or a lockable door that will keep the criminal away from you for the 5 to 10 minutes that it takes the cops to get there.
