How can average citizens get these laws changed that allow for catch and release?

I'm tired of hearing about the poor criminals. If their parents/guardians can't keep them off the streets/out of jail, they should be placed in an environment where they get mandatory therapy and education/vocational training and kept away from the rest of society until they can control their violent impulses. Call it juvie or give it some other name, but there need to be consequences. Catch and release doesn't protect society, doesn't teach anything, and doesn't improve any of the circumstances that led to this violent criminal thinking it's ok to go carjack people at gunpoint when they are still too young to even drive legally. It's stupid.

Yeah, voters would definitley be better off voting for the authoritarian fascist party that is willing to use the military against US citizens on US soil on trumped up nonsense. That's much more "trustworthy" public safety. Eat a huge helping of human excrement.
