When it was first conceived and piloted in other cities, it was never supposed to apply to violent crimes. It was supposed to reduce the devastating lifelong impacts of imprisonment on young people making bad decisions with non-violent crimes.

DC took the YRA a step further and applied it to violent criminals, ensuring that there are no real consequences for gun crimes and violence.

That’s the funny thing about “progressives” who support gun laws: they refuse to accept that ENFORCING gun laws is part of the equation and that this includes punishment for criminals using illegal guns and committing crimes with guns.
