Great American Rifleman article -- July 2017

Just received the new July 2017 American Rifleman magazine.

This is one of the best articles I've ever read. One thing that caught my eye is the comment regarding criminals and their actions being a "mistake".

Snippet:
It begins with a quote from a Georgetown University law professor whining about how going to prison ruins the lives of convicted criminals. He referred to their crimes as “making a mistake.” What about the ruined lives of their victims?

Excuse me? Shooting someone. Robbing someone. Assaulting someone. Killing someone. Selling drugs. Illegally possessing and using firearms in the commission of violence. Those are not “mistakes.” They are crimes—serious federal felonies that should be prosecuted.
I can't agree more. Doing something questionable -- once -- is a mistake. To do this over and over is not a mistake but crime.

This is an excellent read and I recommend it to all.
