Mandatory minimums, began when prisons went private, for profit. That is the problem. The judges should decide.
Bring back Draco's Law: all crimes are punishable by death. Can't get tougher than that.
That's exactly what Bunny Colvin said to Carver.
This is a sleight of hand interview. Full of obfuscation.
Guns are not the problem. Arm MORE people (with training) and you’ll see less gun crime.
This man is a nut.
I call bull shit..whats that 5 10 life…law…they dont inforce..
Its bull shit political positron ing
The real answer is succession.
Alot of mandatory minimums are unjust. Period!
Smoking weed?
Where is the victim?
Where is the violence or destruction?
Where is the crime?
I think it depends if legislators vote their conscience or bank account…. Harsh sentences for experimenting kids works, scares the sh!t out of em, before become criminal… Contribution by social and infrastructural problems are real, food, food, food… evidence for both sides exists… so I return to "I think it depends if legislators vote their conscience or bank account….(and do research or not)"
Very good interview! All of this will hopefully turn out well for the citizens and other residents of Maryland.
Why even report on their hypocritical lies? Just how many guilty pleas and out of court settlements do they have to rack up to before stop regurgitating their lies? Baseless accusations based on no facts, except the fact that they rig votes and harbor domestic terrorist. Give me a break, this is not real news!
Well, there are over 65 million plus laws on the books now with around 90-100 thousand pages added annually.
No one in government from judges, prosecutors, police, government agents, etc or those with wealth and politically connected really have to obey those laws because they're either exempt from them, immune from prosecution under them or can break them at will knowing they aren't likely to be prosecuted and, if they are, will receive a slap on the wrist.
For you however, you commit at least three felonies per day in just normal daily living so how harsh a sentence should you receive for your multiple felonies just this week, criminal?
You Commit Three Felonies A Day

Government is guilty of the crimes it seeks to punish by it's own man made laws.
The ONLY REAL crimes are those in which people are hurt or killed, property is damaged or stolen or fraud has taken place.
All other "crimes" are just the result of lying, self serving, bribed politicians writing laws on behalf of the highest bidder to grant special favors and privileges to those who have bribed them the most while making criminals out of people who have harmed no one.
Such laws are CRIMINAL themselves because they violate the Natural Rights of us all!
We should be able to live our lives as WE choose and do what we want as long as we don't hurt others! That is how we were born and intended to live and that is freedom and liberty. Anything less than that is slavery.
no but the Obama admin was pro-criminal for not going after criminal banksters
Great interview! Sensible comments!
There are plenty of people in all political parties who want to have the right to possess a firearm. Those who live in the country vs the city have different reasons for using a firearm. If you have a police car sitting outside your home .. you might feel safe .. but the moment you are attacked or someone you love .. that's when you'll change your tune. I think what should happen is to give people a test .. to see how empathetic they are .. to understand what their mental state is. If I want a firearm .. I can always find one without having to buy a new one from a store. People need to be educated to be more responsible for what they have .. just like driving a car .. or flying an airplane. If you do a crime .. using a firearm .. well .. you cross a line .. and that is once again your responsibility .. do the time or pay the fine!
Please share, people. Need to get TRNN to 500K
Maryland is a gun state. Next to the extreme gun sate of Virginia! Guns are everywhere in the DMV(DC, MD, VA)area didn’t we learn our lesson from the Clinton crime bill!! Come with a different strategy! The governor is definitely playing to his base as usual🙄 I’m by No MEANS aTrump supporter but Trump will destroy him if he runs against him.
NAZI'S WERE ONLY DOING THEIR JOB WHEN THEY USED GUN CONTROL
I'm no Republican but being against this specific policy looks to me like they are more concerned with the well being of criminals than the safety of law abiding citizens. This is the kind of thing that will keep me home come election time. If it goes much further I may even be voting Republican for the first time in my life.
End the war on weed smokers are usually nice people.
So now identity politics is being used by The Real News and Democrats advising strategy for how to cultivate neighborhood snitches.
Gun law should be controlled at guns distribution to prevent the crimes. Punishments after so many deaths!
