I'm all for the right to bear arms but I think that the use of a gun in any crime, even if it's not actually used, should come with much harsher penalties. 10 years added to whatever the sentece is for the actual crime on the first offence, keep doubling from there.
I also never understood attempted murder charges. Attempted murder should hold the same weight as murder charges in my opinion. How it is now it's sort of like "Oh hey, well you suck at even trying to kill people so we will shave some years off your sentence." lol that shit is just stupid.
