Absurdly light. People never do the prescribed time for the crime, and its a small number of clowns doing most of the circus acts. Unreformable,” wrote another. One said, “Still depends though. If you have a habit of stealing newspapers and getting caught, I don’t think you’re the worst person to own a gun. But someone like Joseph Rosenbaum? Fu** no”.
