Under Project Safe Neighborhoods, United States prosecutors are ready to bring cases involving illegal gun use to federal court. This means that if anyone is caught with an illegal gun, they probably won’t be entitled to bail — instead, they’ll go straight to jail. And, if that’s not bad enough, if they are convicted in federal court, they can spend up to 10 years in jail. There are no second chances under this program.
