This is not an effective deterrent for the offenders, and they simply repeat their behavior,\u201d he added. \u201cThis legislation will provide prosecutors the only tool we can use to ensure these offenders are prevented from engaging in violence on our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On some level, it\u2019s crazy to think that a state like Kansas wasn\u2019t already enforcing such a standard.\u00a0 Makes one wonder how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/why-george-soros-is-responsible-for-the-largest-spike-in-murder-in-american-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"kansas-attorney-generals-novel-proposal-to-reduce-crime\" title=\"Kansas Attorney General\u2019s Novel Proposal to Reduce Crime\u00a0\">many other states have similar protocals<\/a> on the books that treat armed felons with kid gloves. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll keep an eye on the Reduce Armed Violence Act.\u00a0 Stay tuned for updates. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"track-link-url-https-www-gunsamerica-com-campaign-buysellga-target-blank-buy-and-sell-on-gunsamerica-all-local-sales-are-free-track-link\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has a novel proposal on how to reduce crime across the Sunflower State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":159456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-159455","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-this-week","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kansas Attorney General\u2019s Novel Proposal to Reduce Crime\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has a novel proposal on how to reduce crime across the Sunflower State.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/kansas-attorney-generals-novel-proposal-to-reduce-crime\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kansas Attorney General\u2019s Novel Proposal to Reduce Crime\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has a novel proposal on how to reduce crime across the Sunflower State.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/kansas-attorney-generals-novel-proposal-to-reduce-crime\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-02-09T15:55:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-08T03:05:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ArmedViolentAct.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"646\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
