Not all people who carry guns want to shoot a cop with it.
To be fair to Lurkette, I found an article yesterday that featured a corrections officer who had found that harsher punishment does not have much of an effect on recidivism. However, it did not specify what was considered 'harsher punishment.' I still postulate that harder labor and less comfortable living conditions would result in fewer return trips, although I have no proof (at this time).
