To receive these grants, states would have to get tough on criminals who use guns. Rep. Weldon said, I want to make sure that the communities where our children play and go to school are safe. Project Exile is a common sense approach to getting criminals who use illegal guns off our streets and sending them a clear message that we will not tolerate gun crimes. Rep. Weldon continued, We have thousands of gun laws on the books already, but only law-abiding gun owners obey laws. Criminals, by their very nature, do not.
Liberals call for more gun laws as the panacea to gun violence.
Project Exile on the other hand calls upon enforcing existing laws and throwing criminals in jail. The Clinton-Gore Administration has refused to prosecute gun criminals Project Exile will ensure that States have the necessary resources to prosecute and jail gun criminals. Project Exile mandates a minimum 5 year jail stay for criminals who use illegal guns. Today, we are seeing gun felons walking the streets after as little as 18 months of jail time, free to terrorize the community and law-abiding citizens. Liberals in Congress are already attacking this bill because it unfairly targets those who use guns in the commission of a crime.
