Feds Prosecuting CA Gun Criminals:  After multiple "sentencing reforms" that have reduced the incarceration of thousands of serious criminals in California, the Sacramento District Attorney has partnered with the U.S. Attorney to have more criminals with guns prosecuted in federal court.  Sam Stanton of the Sacramento Bee reports that last year the U.S. Department of Justice revived the 2001 Project Safe Neighborhoods, which had not been a priority of the Obama Administration.  One of the program's focuses is to increase federal prosecution of repeat felons with firearms.  Like drug crimes, illegal possession of firearms can be prosecuted  under either state or federal law.  The federal sentence for a conviction is much more severe than under California's defendant-friendly sentencing laws.  The program has led to over 200 federal prosecutions of gun criminals in the Sacramento area over the past year.
