I had a thought after reading another post and thought I'd solicit some feedback. VCDL has the opportunity and the need to go on the offensive this year pushing bills in the General Assembly.
VCDL last year fought and won by killing a bill that would enable you to be detained and arrested for most misdemeanors. It was their first foray into a piece of legislation not strictly about firearms and firearms rights but it was an important one.
Instead ofhaving just a strictlypro-gun platform(nothing wrong there)what do you think about them having a go at stealing some of the "public safety" thunder from the anti's.
As such do you all think it would be prudent to suggest to VCDL to push for the introduction of a bill to stiffen the existing penalties for all violent crimes whether a firearm is used or not.
Would pushing a "public safety" bill putting criminals away for longer sentences be beneficial. Would A gun rights group pushing an bill focused on protecting the "children" from the people they need protection from instead of you and I be a media alternative to the anti's clamoring for more gun control to make the "children" safer?
We all know its not the gun that is the problem its thecriminal with his finger on the trigger. So would attempting tofocus the media attention on the criminal instead of the gun be futile or worthwhile?
