Federal firearms laws are quite strong and the penalties are severe. But some jurisdictions (typically jurisdictions with their own, more restrictive, firearms laws) choose to enforce neither their own laws nor the Federal laws. Just look at the criminal records of those mutts that do get caught.
Our local chief of police was frustrated because the District Court docket couldn't begin to accommodate the large number of perps (almost all repeat offenders). Plea bargain became the norm; at least that took some of the perps off the street for a while. Then he started charging them with federal firearms violations. The Federal court dates were soon and proof of the crime was (relatively) easy. As I recall, 19 perps went away for 5-10 years each, that first year after the chief started the new approach. Laws are meaningless if you don't enforce them. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of > Mountain Man via Mercedes > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2014 7:27 PM > To: Andrew Strasfogel; Mercedes Discussion List > Subject: Re: [MBZ] N and guns > > Andrew wrote: > > Let's not get personal, please.
