The U.S. Sentencing Commission’s action last year that retroactively lowered federal sentencing standards was supposed to pertain only to lower-level drug offenses, but we are being warned now by two Republican lawmakers that this isn’t the case.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley states that thousands of federal inmates with violent criminal histories will be released along with those without violent backgrounds.

We won’t have to go to the range then!
Not good!
Repubs don’t do anything anymore! That is good though. First trip to prison was aggravated robbery…they only slapped his hand for what he did to me, his second, last year was for a. Handgun while still on probation. He was out 6 months and already illegally got a gun…. So he is back in, up for parole next year…
(clarifying…good if what you said about non violent only)
Move them all into the White House with the other criminals!!!
I was just released for a white collar crime. We knew about this last July. Only nonviolent drug dealers who were sentenced to over ten years and have served ten years are eligible. They told us if congress didn’t act by Dec 31,2014 they were proceeding. No gun charges no murderers or rapists qualify. And the republican congress.knew this last july
And they want to take away our weapons!!!!!!!!!! Get ready America!
Wow….look around….do you really think we need anymore violence unleashed in America????……
I’m tired of calling Obama an idiot, because he is actually a genius…..
He knows EXACTLY what he is doing…..destroying America!!!!!
Aren’t we a lucky lot! (dripping sarcasm)
This needs to be stopped.
