I'm gonna get downvoted to oblivion, but the reality is that a lot of shitty criminals who can't buy a real illegal handgun use an airsoft one because it looks so similar. There has to be some mechanism to discourage shit criminals from doing shit criminal things.

A mechanism like holding people accountable for their crimes?

That would require our judges to actually do their jobs.

It's actually not the judge that is the problem. Correctional facilities are staffed with absolute lazy slobs and there is zero rehabilitation. It's literally like the movie Blow. Go in for something ridiculous like stealing groceries, come out with connections to buy handguns and get fronted kilos of Cocaine. It's a private criminal network inside while the guards watch YouTube and play on their phone

Best we can do is let the same criminal walk for the 70th time.

No dummy, a mechanism like inconveniencing a bunch of people is better /s

Just going to point out that recording the name of a person who buys one does help hold people accountable if they commit crimes with them.

Not saying it is right - but your argument isn’t the checkmate you seem to think it is.

Punishment isn’t a deterrent unfortunately.

Hard to commit these kind of crimes while incarcerated

That doesn’t deter them from doing it in the first place. It only delays another offence for most of them.

So we prevent 69 out of 70 crimes? 🤷‍♂️

It most definitely is. Anyone of us is scared to go to jail because we'd get the book thrown at us. Meanwhile criminals get a pass. It's a serious issue.

Just so we're clear, your take is that people are scared to be criminals because the punishment is severe, but also the people who are not scared to be criminals are treated too lightly and should face more severe punishments.
