How about we just strip them naked and banish them to some deserted island?

Why strip them naked? Well, clothing can be used as a weapon,

Put them on a deserted island makes it kind of hard to commit a crime. Nobody else there for them to attack.

But we don't have that many deserted islands.

How about setting up detention facilities on one, or more, of those Pribilof Islands? Deposit a big stack of lumber, some hand driven/operated tools.

Seeds for food, etc. Minimum 20 year sentence. No time off for good behavior, etc.

Firearm possession sentencing enhancements are already a thing and do little to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals except for theoretically keeping offenders in prison a little bit longer. It isn't effective as a deterrence strategy and is only effective in sentencing if the prosecutor and judge allow it to be which is often not the case. 7 charges plea bargained to 3 with concurrent sentencing.

I cannot support ANY laws that restrict gun ownership. We have compromised too much and it clearly isn’t working. If a law doesn’t expand gun rights I don’t support it.

Yep. No more infringements on my inherent right to keep and bear arms for the defense of myself and others. Properly understood, that right includes ready access to ordinary military arms of today, not 1776.

I completed a pistol class today and a few students were talking about the VA BS. One guy, who admitted he was a Dem., said he was ashamed that the dems here are trying to take our away rights.

Not all Dems are created equal. Some are reasonable, others are tyrannical.

We have a winner. Isolate the bad guys from the general population as inexpensively as we can. They will have to fend for themselves on the "inside". Problem may not be solved but greatly reduced. Not to be cold but a reduction in the use of heroin could be affected as well by letting those determined users be their own demise.
