Last week at the state Capitol, Woods joined Connecticut’s big city mayors, who departed from the new decriminalization orthodoxy to push a package of proposed laws that would enhance bail and sentencing laws as they apply to repeat gun criminals. They backed up the legislative pitch with a startling statistical analysis of gun crimes that shows most gun criminals are chronic reoffenders who are committing second and third offenses while released on bail or probation.

The mayors, all Democrats, arrived with the statistics and an array of inner city supporters, including mothers with emotional stories about murdered children. But it was unclear what reception their proposals would get from the Democratic-controlled legislature, where recent gun proposals trend more toward limiting gun access than prosecution. There was some support for the proposals from Republicans.

The gun criminals are, according to the numbers, a relatively small, violent group with felony records. They commit a significant percentage of urban gun crimes while free on bond and awaiting trial on other crimes, or while on parole or probation after prior convictions and prison sentences, data shows.

The only word that registered was 'gun'.

While not an official stat, police officers often say 90% of their calls are dealing with the same 3% of repeat criminals. 

That isn't a race stat, just a quality of person stat

This is a pretty quiet thread

I wouldn't doubt it.    I am on board with the suggestion from another thread that we need to crack down hard on gun crimes, but I am not holding my breath waiting for that to happen in America.

I'm all for cracking down on gun crimes.  Against adding new laws when we aren't enforcing the current ones.

I welcome the return of common sense and any removal of woke stupidity....but it will take much more than this to unfock the damage created by Democrats.
