As we are seeing happen right now, if they let the criminals out sooner, they can and do go back out and commit more crime. More crime equals more citizens arming themselves. More citizens arming themselves equals more gun violence due to defending against violent crime. More gun violence adds to the growing database of gun activity which assists the Leftistas by giving them numbers to deliberately misuse to support their efforts to disarm the population.
It's not a conspiracy theory if it ends up being true.
