I've always felt they should create a more distinct third class of crimes, separating violent and non-violent felonies. A felon can be someone that stole two xboxs or someone that raped and murdered someone.
Felony theft, when aided by w firearm is the entire point. Criminals need to find out the hard way that there's no commission of a crime using a firearm that doesn't have some serious fuckin repercussions.
