Region sees rise in crime

"We can make a difference when it comes to gang murders, but it is much more difficult when it comes to other kinds of murders," Baca said. "In Compton the word is out that things have changed. Gang members are getting out of town."

Anti-gang deputies have concentrated on getting guns out of the hands of gang members. Last year, sheriff's officials and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shut down a Compton gun store that had sold nearly 900 weapons that ended up being confiscated during criminal investigations.

Store employees had illegally helped criminals buy guns by encouraging them to use friends or family with clean records to pass background checks. Thousands of guns were seized during the raid.

NOTE: LA county reduced gang murders by using existing state and federal laws. That’s precisely what the pro-RKBA group has been saying, enforce existing laws.

IMO charge violators especially gun dealers with every crime committed and sentence convicted felons to prison time in series rather than concurrent, e.g. convictions for five crimes, each with 5 years means 25 years in prison, and I wouldn't be upset if parole was not possible.

We can make room in prison by releasing people convicted of such violations such as marijuana possession.

1. Ah, foolish Jody..

Your plan makes sense. It will therefore never happen.

I'm sure a ban on saggy pants will pass with flying colors, though, especially if it is touted as a "crime-reduction measure".
