Ed, people, I’m hoping none of you are foolish enough to fall for this quasi-tough-on-crime rope-a-dope, Tamrah’s Law. For what it’s worth, you’re being misdirected again! The problems with current gun laws isn’t necessarily a lack of teeth and/or toughness. The problem with the gun laws is and has been a miserable failing on the part of the prosecutors and judges to impose appropriate sentences. They (prosecutors and judges) have always had the authority to impose consecutive sentences for multiple crimes, but it’s never done. What is done is that the sentences for multiple crimes are run concurrently, which allows for the prisoner’s early release and/or parole. And our district’s representatives (Trenton’s City Council and mayor, the county executive, Sen. Shirley Turner, Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman, and Assemblyman Reed Gusciora) already know this! Don’t fall for their pandering and sympathetic stroking.

Not Falling

Good advice.—Ed. Note
