But how about writing laws to punish the evil doers.
"Use of a firearm in a crime results in a mandatory death sentence",
that ought to cut down gun crime a bit.

Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences. One unintended, but entirely predictable,
consequence of that proposal would be a dramatic increase in murders -- as street thugs
decide that since the penalties are the same for armed robbery and for murder, they might as
well ensure that there are no witnesses to their crimes.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
