The Right is against minimum sentences for illegal gun possession because they think rednecks who "make an honest mistake" will go to jail or they're just 2A absolutists. The Left is against such laws because they think they're inherently "racist" or will not by "equitably applied".

Round and round we go...

I'd be fine if we'd just increase sentences for people with previous felony convictions who are caught with illegal guns.

Anyone with a prior violent felony who's busted with a gun should get 10+ years since they're clearly still a huge danger to society.
