Gun Crime = More Time
In Tennessee, the Crooks with Guns bill increases penalties for convicted felons found in possession of firearms by requiring mandatory sentencing with no jail-time reductions. And the Street Terrorism bill would make crimes committed by three people a higher classification of felony. More here.
I’m all for increasing penalties for violent crimes but, seriously, do we have to constantly go throwing around the word terrorism?

Yes, we do. “Gang activity”, “disenfranchised youths”, “inner-city violence” just do not touch the root of the problem. Terrorism in our streets is what it is. Break up the terrorist cells and send them to a “tropical island”.
