If you're going to prison for the rest of your life, what difference does it make if it's one life sentence or twenty?

Kinda like the Navy saying it take 3 blowjobs to decide if yer ghey. Kinda.

After you bang the first goat, Allah doesn't care about the rest?

Nice location OP. In case you haven’t gotten the hint, you stink of Fed.

So to clarify what some here explained.
It means if person A was facing decades behind bars for gun charges it would not matter if he added capital level crime charges on top of that would make no difference he is dead anyways. |

You'd think the feds would do some dummy EE transactions with each other to make the accounts look more convincing with + feedback.

So I google OP's screen name:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibatullah_Akhundzada Do you guys even try anymore? At least get creative with "fuel filter" questions, or something. |

It doesn't make much sense in the context of felonies.
It's usually used in reference to killing someone. Whether the cost be societal in the form of the death penalty or life in prison, religious in the sense of going to hell or existential in the sense of guilt over doing it. All of the above are incurred on the first one and the rest after that are "free". |

Once that you are a convicted felon, then you will always be one, and any more felony convictions, won’t make you any more of a felon.
I guess that’s what it means. |

The real question is: Would it make a difference if they used a Solothurn or a Smith 29?

Quoted: Does not mean anything this is the internet not a real life meetup. Pointing fingers making accusations does nothing but divide the gun community more.

Pointing fingers making accusations does nothing but divide the gun community more. The seeds of division are sewn in every aspect of our lives. Daily. So, quite frankly, I don't care about your opinion. We’re skeptical of posters like you given your name, location and question(s). |

I'm surprised this isn't another brand new account talking about how they are a fat drunk, druggie.

I always thought it referred to judges use of "concurrent" sentencing.
Whichever the felony you get convicted of that has longest sentence is the length of time you serve. All the other crimes you get convicted of are "free" because the sentences will run concurrently, i.e. at the same time, instead of adding together which is called "consecutive" sentencing. Some crimes that the media keeps in the headlines from the time they are committed until after the sentencing phase may end up with the judge specifying consecutive sentences but it's a fairly rare happening. |

Quoted: That makes sense if that is the correct meaning. View Quote If you were part of the "gun community" you would have already been exposed to material and news stories of interest that explains this many times over. So, while I doubt you're a fed because even F Troop is better at this, I suspect you're some two bit "journalist" doing "research" for some hit piece. They wander through here from time to time. So, look up my reference. Put in the time to read it. You might learn something. |

A felony conviction leaves a huge dent. Loss of voting and gun rights as well very limited job opportunities. Any felony after that doesn't really make things that much worse for you. Couple that with how shockingly little it takes to get a felony and it's a wonder anyone has rights left.

It is a way of pointing out the decreasing marginal utility of jail time after the first lifetime.
