Unlicensed drivers risk jail time if they continue to do so. If a 'law abiding citizen' loses his right to maintain a firearm due to medical reasons and gets ahold of a gun anyway he is a NON law abiding citizen. If the message went out that firearm possession infractions may result in increasing jail time maybe the message would go out that not all righteous and indignant will remain so and they will lose their firearms and other rights if they continue down that path. Actual law abiding citizens should support this as a way to protect their rights. Most gun control supporters aren't trying to disarm law abiders and don't support full gun bans. They are your friends. Work with them.
