Harsher penalties for gun violence may save lives

It is time to bring back the death penalty for those who kill others with guns.

We need to start thinking of what the victim went through instead of giving the killers all the help they don’t deserve. The victims are violently robbed of life by a speeding projectile that gruesomely destroys flesh and bone. The killer gets an injection they deserve. The cruel punishment in this case is not received by the killer, remember the victim!

Also, the legal system needs to be fixed so these killers do not get to live for years in prison before the sentence is carried out. We don’t need to pay to feed, educate, give medical and take the time to watch them. That money is better spent on something else. Remember the victim!

Society will never be rid of killers with guns. But when the penalty is harsh enough, some people will think twice before pulling the trigger. That could be all it takes to save a life. Remember the victims!
