After shootings left 10 people dead and 74 injured in Rochester this summer, public officials have set their sights on a fresh approach to criminal cases that involve illegal gun possession.
The idea is for courts to deal more effectively with people who are caught carrying firearms illegally by handing down more consistent sentences and assigning young offenders to a closely supervised probation program if they show the potential to reform. |

"Right now, a lot of our people in our community are not afraid to carry an illegal gun, because in many ways they know they will be out tomorrow or in two days," Warren said.
"We have so few people who are responsible for so many violent crimes," said Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli. "If we can change the path of just a few, we can have a significant impact."
That says it all. The same miscreants causing the problems, and the courts let them out in one or two days.
And the liberals want to punish law abiding gun owners for the failure of the court system to severely punish the criminals.
The current laws are adequate. We don't need more laws that the criminals will ignore anyway. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
