I’m very much for harsher penalties for certain gun crimes, while I can see the angle of reducing certain sentence minimums as an attempt at preventing long term incarceration for people who get into bad lifestyles due to circumstances with inequality and lack of opportunity for success.
Kind of treating it like a dealer/user sort of situation. That said, any violence that ends up with innocent lives being lost or long term injury in an unprovoked attack should really end up with the perpetrator having their life ruined as badly as they ruin someone else’s.
