I agree we have a criminal justice system that is too lenient but I really do hate the idea of mandatory minimums. As much as some judges make me crazy I’d rather have the hope of common sense rather than something completely arbitrary. Especially when you have gun laws that are sometimes counter intuitive and confusing. For example a .25 caliber handgun is prohibited, this is a very small handgun that too be honest doesn’t make a lot of sense to prohibit. (I think it was a popular gang gun at some point and they decided to prohibit it.) A .44 magnum (huge hand gun Dirty Harry) or a .40 Glok ( popular police gun) are merely restricted. If a stupid kid finds Grandpas .25 and sells or simply possess it I think it’s a little harsh to send him to jail for 3-5 years because he was in violation of a prohibited weapon law. Now someone saws off a shotgun to use in a crime, sure throw the book at him, but I’d still rather have a human deciding the difference.
