Paul,

"Gun crime, I want the full weight of the law used against those who would use guns to commit crime. That is reasonable position, I think you would agree with that."

I do agree and I wonder why the Greens and Labor oppose separate sentencing for the use of a gun in a crime.
Every time that the SF&F bring the matter up it is opposed by those parties.

Here's another that the local media missed, or didn't want to see:

"AUSTIN, Ark. (KATV) - Austin police are crediting a concealed carry holder for helping save a man who was being stabbed by his brother.
Monday night police were dispatched to a stabbing at 10 Marie Lane, where they found 47-year-old Darren Terry with three lacerations. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Darren's brother, 30-year-old Chris Terry, was taken into custody for first-degree domestic battery in the case and is being held at the Lonoke County jail on a $10,000 bond.
Upon further investigation, authorities learned a Good Samaritan, identified as Lt. Brandon Teel, witnessed the incident and reported the crime to police.
When he realized the severity of the fight, police say Teel took out his concealed weapon, for which he has a valid permit, and held the suspect until Austin officers were able to take him into custody.
Teel, 35, of Ward, is an active-duty United States Air Force Reserves 189th Airlift Wing and is stationed at the Little Rock Air Force base.
The Austin police chief says Teel's actions saved a life.
"Lt. Teel is a perfect example of a responsible concealed carry permit holder," said Chief Bill Duerson. "He acted heroically in the face of extreme danger and avoided a tragedy."

They missed this too.

"A Moncks Corner resident defended his family Tuesday by fatally shooting a masked man who broke into his home carrying rope and a pistol with a laser sight, authorities said the next day.

The homicide of 30-year-old Elijah Akeem White Jr. of North Charleston was deemed justifiable, and the homeowner is not expected to face charges.

Investigators said a woman who acted as an accomplice in the home invasion by White was arrested. Juanita Marie English, 28, of Logwood Drive in Ladson, faces charges of first-degree burglary and criminal conspiracy.....White kicked in the door. But 27-year-old Justin Washington, the homeowner on the other side, also was armed and shot White four times, Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said.

Authorities responded about 8:15 p.m. and found White's body outside a home at 203 Post Oak Court. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene.

"In Berkeley County," Salisbury said, "if you kick someone's door in and you get shot, as long as I’m coroner, that will be justifiable homicide.""
