him additional time when he was caught.

And if caught at night with a gun in a domicile, it represents some
really serious time.

The weapon is a real kicker.

That was his point.

FWIW, under George the First there was a program where any criminal in
possession of a firearm was referred to the Federal government _after_ he
was convicted on state charges, with his state term starting after his
Federal term was over. Clinton for whatever reason, and, I understand, over
Janet Reno's protests (I'd like to get enough liquor down that woman to get
her to tell me what she _really_ thinks about Clinton) , discontinued this
program.
