Explain to me how renting a gun INSIDE THE STORE is a danger to the public, please?
On the other hand, there's an easy way to solve this problem. Keep the bastards locked up until they've served their entire sentence!! No time off for "good behavior", no parole, no early release. If you give them 25 years, let them SERVE 25 years. If they kill somebody, execute them. With the scientific identification tools that are available today, there is little trouble proving someone's guilt. DNA is like the hand of God proclaiming a person guilty. Some say that execution is "cruel and unusual". But they don't take into consideration how cruel and unusual the perpetrator was toward his victim.
Ok, rant off.
