A lot of people “convicted of certain C and D felonies” are really hard core habitual criminals. The guilty plea on the C or D felony was a result of a plea bargain, which probably resulted in an A or B felony charge being wiped away, in exchange for a long term on the C or D felony.
I hope the people studying this issue took that into consideration.
I think what the state is up to is that they’ll get ‘em convicted of the felony, then wait around for them to be caught in possession of a firearm, and then the Yankee government can house ‘em for several years. Do their life on the installment plan on the Yankee government’s dime.
