Our governments (Fed, states, cities) are not doing their jobs to protect us. This is government's #1 function. Violent criminals should be locked up for their entire sentences. 3 strikes should be one strike - how many crimes has the average miscreant committed before they are caught even once? Charges (especially weapons charges) should not be plea-bargained away. That's a start.
