Would gang members consider twice before shooting someone if they know their single mother is going to have to pay a hefty amount?

Gang bangers wouldnt care.

The solution if very long prison sentences and a faster tract for death penalty cases. Removal of the violent persons is the only solution.

Levying fines on people wont work because many of these people dont have anything of value. Guns bans wont work because the criminal does not care about laws and will get a weapon anyway. If a firearm isnt available the violent people will use other ways to hurt people. Taking them out of society is the only answer.

And that is exactly the opposite of what democrat\progressives want to happen with criminal justice.
