BE SOFT ON POT, TOUGH ON GANGS

Police and prosecutors are not the problem.

Want to save money? Legalize marijuana (the laws do more harm than the
drug). Tax it, and double the fight on drugs that kill.

Anyone that commits a crime with a gun gets an additional five years
minimum added to their sentence. Any criminal or gang associate found
with a gun near them gets five years for first offence, 10 for second
and life for third. When a gun is fired, anyone with gunpowder residue
on them gets ten years. No excuses. Then these punks will think twice
about carrying a gun or who they hang with. Laws should protect the
people, not make money for lawyers and tie up court time. You can
clean it up if you want. Let's hope it is soon, before another
bystander is killed.
