Well, would you look at that.

Something the woke crowd is doing that I actually happen to agree with. Of course, it's not for the same reasons. Frankly, it's stupid to enhance penalties because of the tool used in a particular crime. If the sentence and the length/severity thereof doesn't deter crime regardless of the tools used in commission of the crime, then that needs to be addressed in its own right.
Does the victim or their family care if they or their loved one were killed by being shot vs. bludgeoned with a hammer? Is some greater justice served because the perp. chose to use one tool vs. another? Frankly, there's typically more passion involved in a killer that chooses a knife over a gun... which is far less personal. Are we rewarding people that are more passionate about who they're killing?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I'm confused by their statements that firearms enhanced sentencing is racist and disproportionately affecting minorities. Perhaps a disproportionate number of gun infractions are committed by minorities. Using a gun to commit any crime should be discouraged and I can't think of anything else that might work. What about catching a felon in possession of a firearm? Since they aren't penalizing for the use of a gun while committing a crime what about after they get out for holding up a liquor store and beating some poor sales clerk almost to death? If liberal la-la land wasn't so ignorant it would be good for a laugh. Instead it is scary that they are so clueless. Bob
Is stupid a requirement in California?
Evidently.
"with proponents saying laws against using guns in the commission of crimes disproportionately affect people of color."Are they trying to say poc use guns in crimes more often??
Facts are raycist.

As there is nothing in the law that enhances the severity of the crime if committed by people of color, there are two solutions.

How does enhancing the crime because of the weapon used matter?
I would rather be shot square in the forehead with a pistol than be hacked to death with a machete..........the victim is dead either way. So, let's enhance the charges if it's MS-13 with a machete or a chainsaw...........they don't use guns.
So death by bb gun means only parole??
