minus-squareflying_monkies@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoNot sure what has your panties in a wad over that. The converted rifles in that crime were not ATF Form 2 weapons, so calling them “illegaly modified” is a true and factual statement.
minus-squareuis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoI don’t have gun context. Just saying that banning sething(i.e. making it illegal) will only increase amount of illegal. Things that are banned will not just “have you seen the law? Well, it seems I shouldn’t exist” and disappear.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoYou can now prosecute people doing harm with new charges. I don’t know why that isn’t significant. Why does every action have to “fix everything?”
minus-squareuis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAaaand? They are already charged with, you know, killing people.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNot necessarily. Not if they were stopped before they could kill anyone.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYou really don’t understand how adding charges results in longer sentences? Really?
minus-squareuis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWell, you can just increase sentence for killing if you want what you claim
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s not how laws work. There are already maximum and minimum sentences for each offense.

Well, trying to kill is already illegal.

Yes. And both of them can be changed.
