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?

Punishment isn’t a deterrent unfortunately.

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.
