For starters how about a strong message

In the military we had a provision that any offense that involved alcohol was then labeled an alcohol related offense regardless of the issue. This automatically triggered stiffer penalty’s even if the alcohol per se did not contribute to the offense.

If we could get something similar passed concerning firearms where not matter the offense if a firearm is present very stiff penalties are imposed. Make to the point nobody wants a firearm near them.

Traffic stop due to speeding $250.00 fine - firearm in the vehicle add $2000.00. Force those that choose to carry to the highest standards. Road rage incident whatever the normal penalty- firearm present even if not involved add 1 year jail ineligible for probation. Second firearm related incident make them ineligible to possess Federally. Third strike and 20 years minimum.

I am open to discussing this idea.
