Jessica’s Law failed: Colo House Judiciary Committee says "Guns bad" but "Raping children OK"

[Irving]

You must be joking...

Nope. From the way the way the thread reads, this law is asking for mandatory sentencing for people who are charged. Have there been cases where someone is charged, but not sentenced?

Guy Dues is talking about sounds like a real POS, but it still sounds like he was sentenced.

I think most people here are advocates of harsher punishments for existing laws. It's one
of the main reasons why gun violence is a 'problem'.

When a guy only gets 17 years for beating his mother to death with a hammer, comes out and shoots a number of firefighters, there's an issue.

I was moved by the testimony of a father on Tuesday, who testified that his young daughter's rapist swore (i believe in court) when he got out of jail he would rape her again, kill her parents infront of her, and then kill her. He gets out of jail next year.
