Well guns are getting expensive as well as ammo. How would they go to work without the proper tools?
We can argue the details, but the basic idea is not absurd.
A lot of people wind up in jail because . . . THE NUMBER ONE REASON IS THEY CAN’T AFFORD GOOD COUNSEL AND DEPEND ON PUBLIC DEFENDERS. The PDs have a backlog and just want to plea bargain everyone to lower sentence to work thru their backlog.
https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_offenses.jsp The number one offense that puts people in prison are drug issues. It doesn’t take much. Even in states with legal weed, a person who has some and sells it to his friends is going to jail.
Point being, no question they screwed up, but if you turn them loose after their sentence is served — with NOTHING — then how do they live? And no, they all don’t have relatives who want an ex con living with them.
oh geez, silly me. Forget about them having to purchase new tools.
