shenanigans, LOL, there is no shenanigans, step outside your box and think about what if. Too many crimes, murders happen all over the world. In this country as you noted, our court system lets murders have it easy. You kill someone, you might go to prison for life, while waiting on the reduced sentence for good behavior. Lawyers get rich and the families that lost children suffer forever.
There really needs to be some type of gun restrictions on the guns, the types, the ages, the background and while they are at it, stronger fines and prison terms if someone breaks the law, if they live .
