To those who were taken aback by my letter on Joe Biden: His campaign promise to outlaw all semi auto firearms brought forth a surge of 10 million purchases of such weapons in the U.S. in the year 2020 alone.

The National Rifle Association has long advocated that any felony crime committed with the use of a firearm shall have 10 years added to their sentence.

If that were implemented and made mandatory it would cut the gun violence in half in short order because those criminals would be where they belong, behind bars.

It is a common sense answer but a conservative idea so it would never fly...
