At the end of the latest legislation session Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a bill removing mandatory enhanced sentencing for criminals who use guns in the commission of their crimes. He did this at the same time that he signed other legislation making it illegal for teachers to be armed on K-12 campuses for self-defense. Liberal logic–teachers are not allowed to shoot back if under attack and criminals face no mandatory sentence enhancement for using a gun in carrying out an attack. |

The only measure that works to reduce crime is to lock up the criminals and get them off the streets. The more criminals in prison, the less crime. Shorter sentences equates to more crime.
What is almost comical is that at the same time they are shortening prison sentences and reducing prison populations they are targeting law abiding citizens with more and more restrictions on gun ownership. Laws that don't affect criminals because they don't obey them anyway. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
