What's the point of having these laws if they're only used as a listing of prior arrests when these people commit their latest crime? These offenses seem to be used only as contents of a resume. How many "assaults with guns" before they get put away for years? Or is it allowed until someone dies? Then everyone can gather around and comment about what's wrong.
