No, the concepts of minimum mandatory sentencing, zero tolerance policing, abolishment of parole, etc. were tried first at the State or City level long before any Federal involvement.
Again, and this is the last time I'm going to repeat this since you are obviously trying to duck this point, I am not the one who is in the position of having to provide any evidence in favor of my position. YOU are. YOU are advocating the extension of the AWB, therefore YOU are advocating a restriction on a Constitutional right. YOU need to justify that restriction. You still haven't done so.
Your implied statement that I have to provide support for the absence of a restriction is absurd.
CHL, you don't know anything about me. My point here is most people are just spouting rhetoric they heard from someone else. Btw, can you provide a source for this?:
"The crime rate was decreasing prior the the AWB's passage, and for reasons completely unrealated to it. Reasons which were (are) related to a decrease in the number of inner-city 16-24 year old minority males in the US population, minimum mandatory sentencing, zero tolerance policing, etc."
You know the 'minimum sentencing' and zero tolerance' is from the VCC&LE Act.
