I think that it is insane. A criminal should be sentenced based on the crime and intent, not whether he or she chose to use a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, or a car.
Do you think that Susan Smith's two little boys are any less dead than they would be if she had used a gun instead of rolling her car into a pond? If she had shot them, it would have been treated as a gun/domestic violence crime. Nobody considers it a car/domestic violence crime or a water/domestic violence crime.
Consider also the wackjob b*tch that led her kids into the shed a couple of years ago here in Phoenix and lit the shed on fire. 2 of her kids are dead and she is getting her day in court. Nobody is calling that a fire/domestic violence case.
Anyone who thinks that treating gun crimes differently than any other crimes is a good idea has lost sight of the basic principals of gun rights. We've always argued that "guns don't kill people, people kill people," but some of us don't apply that simple logic, and instead capitulate to the antis.
