For myself I would like to see it made mandatory that whenever a crime is committed with a gun, that fact alone should result in an additional ten years tacked on to the sentence for the commission of the crime, no exceptions.

A lot of things are involved, you do a felony and five other crimes in connection, arrested and charges accordingly , your attorney and the States Attorney could very well agree that you take a plea on one or more, the others are dropped, lots of good reason to do so, for one, even if found guilty on all five many times the judge will have all the sentences for all five to run consecutively, all at the same time rather than concurrently , one after the other, quantity discount for the criminality inclined
