>Questions:  

1 Do you (or anyone else who wants to respond) support increasing
  the rate of incarceration even more than it has been?

2 Do you believe this helps reduce violent crime?

3 More generally, what should be done to reduce the criminal use of guns?

Answers.

1.  I support increasing the rate of incarceration.  Criminals must pay for 
there crimes to the extent that our laws dictate.  Present laws must be 
enforced, period.  Lack of enforcement leads to contempt for the law.  If laws 
are unfair, change them, don't break them.

2. I do not believe that this will reduce violent crime.  I think that we have 
deep problems in our society that must be addressed.  This is the only way to 
reduce violent crime.

3. What should be done to reduce the criminal use of guns?  Good question. 
Fair question.  Basically, reduce the number of criminals.  Honestly, I do not 
know how to do that.  I am not a sociologist or whatever, but I do know that 
as long as we argue irrelevant issues, such as keeping honest citizens from 
purchasing guns, we will never get to the real issue of criminals, and 
criminal reduction.  I can point out the problems with the best of them, but 
seeing that no-one is even interested in discussing solutions, no real results 
can ever be expected.  At least the NRA is looking at potential solutions.
