The NRA has repeatedly suggested ways in which this can be accomplished including mandatory sentences without parole, more prosecutors, more prisons, and an end to plea bargaining. If the goal of this body is disarming the American people, either Senator Metzenbaum's or Senator Deconcini's bill are equally good as a starting point. There is no crime control purpose that will be served by either bill and the proponents of restrictive gun control will be back with a new anti-gun panacea for the national crime problem.
