So all these folks crying wolf over "innocent non violent drug charges" but the stolen gun they had while they had during the drug possession isn't seen on that same charge as drugs. So when you go buy your little dime bag from your local dealer, and suddenly you see that stolen snub nose in a face, don't be crying "non violent."
