It really gets my goat that in the civilized world we have gun crime. When I see kids get killed as a result of gun crime, my blood boils. Apparently it is not ok to punish or smack a child but it is ok to have gun crime.

Until crime gets just desserts (fair sentences) then crime will remain. When someone gets life for killing someone, they should be imprisoned for the rest of their life and not 13 years! After all the person they killed will not wake from the dead because life is now just a number of years!
