Punks will think twice if they realize that they can get life - right now youth see jail time as a badge of honor. You spend 3 years and you are a "god" to others on the streets and schools. so they purposely go out and commit a crime just to get recognition and respect from others by doing a crime. Getting into gangs also in some cases requires the newbie to just go out and shoot someone randomly so as to show no fear.
Bring back death penalty, increase border patrols by snopping for guns and remove young offenders act. It will be a peaceful society once again and if there is a fight- its done in an honorable way - fists.

What they need to do is make it so that any crime committed with a weapon like a gun or a knife or a machete automatically nullifies the use of the YOA and makes it an offence that's tried as an adult.
