Wow - a convicted violent felon uses an stolen AR to shoot up his backyard in a residential neighborhood and gets a whole year in COUNTY jail. Someone could have died. We need to do better at holding people accountable.

Perfect example of why more gun control laws will not work. The DA doesn't enforce the laws that are already on the books with enough vigor. This should never have been bargained to a bullet (1 year).
