Do you support stricter penalties for gun law violations?
Laws against using a gun to kill, injure, threaten etc. someone? Absolutely.
Laws against owning a gun? Carrying one in a non-threatening manner? Of course not.
"Non-threatening" to a normal person, that is. But not to the kind of paranoids we have lately been breeding, who go apoplectic at the mere sight of a gun. The most innocent carry, to them, is "threatening". Such hysterics are their own problem, not society's.

Most often when I carry, I carry concealed. But on occasion I have carried open. Hear in Virginia it is perfectly legal to open carry.
The times that I opened carried were most often either going to the range, going to a friends house or family house that feels the same way as I do, not offended in the slightest at the sight of a gun on someone hip.
But I can tell you first hand if I had also gone to a quick stop at like a 7-Eleven or getting gas the vile looks that I have gotten for Carry a Gun Openly you would have thought that I had just killed a puppy or something equally as vile in their eyes.
I just continue about my business, but it is disturbing. The same people don't even blink when I would be carrying concealed. I know the key difference is they have no idea I was even carrying a gun in the first place.
How little did they know that the Angel of death with the most powerful death ray in existence was only a few feet from them; oh the horror's (sarcasm).
So it seems that most people, pro and anti gun rights support harsher punishments for gun violations
So why don't we increase the penalties for gun violations? What's preventing this if both sides seem to agree on this?
a bunch of pansy lawyers and judges that think putting people away for long periods of time might hurt the criminals feelings. too many times over the decades the states have been sued to reduce prison overcrowding, and many times the sentences that are reduced are violent criminals sentences. another way they try to prevent overcrowding of prisons is to have sentences run concurrently rather than consecutively.
i say if you commit a violent crime, the only way you leave the prison is in a casket.

I would not dis-agree with this. I think prison is something that should be feared.
