Yes, there is a solution. ANYONE WHO USES A FIREARM IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME GETS 25 YEARS WITHOUT PAROLE. Very simple solution. Remove those who ABUSE the right to keep and bear arms and the problem will be solved. The idiots in government never seem to understand that the problem is NOT the gun, it is the one who wields it in the commission of a crime.
That sounds like what Giuliani was saying. Armed robbery is serious. So is robbery, but armed robbery has intent to cause serious injury built in.
We'll remember that when they come cite you for filling a pothole on your property. The crime, destroying a wetland. They already use gun laws to "get" people who are really guilty of something else.
One of the six NJ Jihadies was *only* charged with a "Gun Crime", that of providing guns to ineligible persons, that is the 3 illegal alien brothers. Even that might not stick, if he only loaned them the weapons. Then they'll only be able to get him on "Conspiracy to..". Although what I would charge him with is Treason, giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States, the penalty for which is death.
