"For the past several months we have seen an escalation the amount of violence in St. Mary’s County," said Pastor Charlie Wharton.

It is not gun violence its people violence

Maybe punish people who use guns? Like really punish them so they don't want to do it again?

That only works if the judges give harsh sentences such as the max penalty imposable by law, rather than the usual slap on the wrist.

One goes hand in hand with the other - if you want to curb gun violence on the streets, then the judges need to do their job correctly as well.

If anyone doesn't believe this, they need to sit in on a District Court session and see for themselves. I had the unfortunate chance to see our court system in action. The presiding judge was a joke to the system. She coddled repeat offenders of a certain persuasion to the point of being sickening.
