...what's a "steak picnic?"
AFAF.
Uh, a picnic where you eat steak?
That needs to be tenderized by whacking it
with something; say, like the scope from
someone's temporarily confiscated target rifle.
Easy solution - not applying juvenile record purging to cases moved to adult court.
Meanwhile, the real delinquents aren't even charged,
because school-to-prison pipeline.
Does the judge advise the defendant as to the lifelong consequences of pleading guilty?
Considering how bad a job crap generic criminal lawyers do on gun cases,
why expect the judge to be any more competent?
Are there any ex-post-facto issues associated with increasing the adverse consequences of a conviction or guilty plea by using records the defendant was told were totally sealed or expunged at age of majority. Implementation of the Lautenberg amendment would suggest the answer is no.
Don't be surprised if there's literal case law on the issue out there somewhere.
I think there are ways to design a system with safeguards in it that work well for both sides, but the problems are four-fold:
1- Nobody wants to pay for it (to do this properly will cost a lot of money, AKA the american skinflint conundrum, although we seem to skip that problem when bailing out negligent borrowers or bombing brown people, but I digress)
Cost may not end up being an issue by the time the
medium-term rolls around.
Because of how we're told that 98% of the homeless are some mix of addicts
and the mentally ill. If jurisdictions take a deep breath and start treating their
homeless population, caring for a few more potential mass shooters
will just be a drop in the bucket.
Bootstrapping the mental health system up to those levels of capacity
ain't happening in the short term. But some places may make the leap,
because it's the only compassionate solution.
I'm hoping the left dumpster fire rages hot enough to cause this 'deal' to blow up.
Either that or Mitch McTurtle pulls out the Epstein Island blackmail file.
People don't realize how delicate the balance of power is this term.
Feinstein could stroke out at 3:00AM tonight,
and suddenly this hot mess lands in the Turtle's lap
when he least expects it.
Cool!! Looks like the Repubs want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again!!! I'd ask if these morons can be this stupid to agree to pass gun control mere months before an election where they're expected to clean up, but I know the answer to that already. Fools
Is it too late in the calendar to primary GOP senators that were running unopposed?
Otherwise in the red states some of those cucks may be in for a surprise.
Constitutionally, I'd be surprised if the Feds even could order states to unseal their juvie records. ...
As if the Feds don't have the balls to include a waiver on the 4473
granting access to all juvenile records of the purchaser.
