Possession of a lethal weapon during commission of a felony should be automatic capital punishment. No exceptions. And I said and meant possession. Doesn't have to even be used, just in the convicted person's possession at the time. Limit of 2 appeals. Limit of 24 months per appeal. No exceptions. Public hanging at the county courthouse of the county where the crime was committed. No exceptions.

Umm. . . no.

I agree with the premise, to a point. If such a concept were to become law, I could see the liberal DAs in blue states trying to convict someone of a felony in a self defense scenario just to see the original victim executed.

True, a person who commits a felony with a firearm should be heavily punished. True, the appeals process in capital cases are beyond absurd (think justice delayed is justice denied). It amazes me how readily courts can clear room on their docket when Johnny B. Scumbag is facing imminent execution for the murder he was convicted of 20 years ago.

I agree, use of a gun while committing a felony should be heavily punished. Not confident that a mandatory death sentence would be used to further justice as one would hope.

I'm sure some would like to try. It would have to be carefully written to prevent that. But self defense isn't a felony and has to factor in as well. I don't know what furthering justice is. But it would guarantee fewer violent felons repeating their trade against additional victims.

You're probably right. Better to leave it as is with violent criminals having free reign and continually multiplying. Not a good idea to do something to greatly reduce the problem.

You are correct. Self defense isn't supposed to be a felony. My concern is that a DA with an agenda will add felony charges to the list of things a person needs to fight in such a situation.

Call me cynical, but I don't like the idea of giving the gun hating left more tools to be used in their lawfare. I absolutely agree with capital punishment being an option when a gun is used while committing a felony. I just don't know if making it a mandatory sentence will help in the long run.
 
Maybe we could make DA's filing bogus charges for political agendas also a capital offense with no exceptions. :)

EXACTLY...."an agenda"....anytime a DA who wants to further his/her political career, will find ways to "getcha"

which is why another thing i do not like to mess with is a carry gun with say...a lighter trigger that the factory installed one....that list too, can go on and on.....

we all know that.

like you said....."Call me cynical, but I don't like the idea of giving the gun hating left more tools to be used in their lawfare"

That's not what he's saying , nor is that an either / or .

Should violent crime be punished with sureity and signifigent consequence ? Absolutely . Enhancement for armed ? Sure .

My state , it's seperate mandatory 5 year , non concurrent . Not unusual , and propperly applied a good thing .

But do anti gun , anti self defense prosecutors try to misapply it in situiations that in most of the country would be obvious SD ? Yes they do .
