Re: HB 1068
I have reservations. When politicians talk about stuff like this, people have images of police taking gang members of the street corners, and throwing the book at them. I would have no problem with this.
I might have a problem throwing the book at a guy who plead guilty to a domestic violence misdemeanor 20 years ago, that he wasn't aware made him a felon-in-possession of a firearm, and having the book thrown at him.
I would have fewer problems with a "getting tough on criminal" approach if federal and state law didn't make so many things crimes that ought not to be crimes.
