Project Exile is a federal program started in Richmond, Virginia, in 1997. Project Exile shifted the prosecution of illegal technical gun possession offenses to federal court, where they carried a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison under the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, rather than in state court. Note that federal law (18 U.S. Code § 922(g) & 924) provides for a penalty of ten years in federal prison for being a "prohibited person", i.e., a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, as well as for falsifying information in order to obtain one, or furnishing a gun to a convicted felon.
The program has since been copied by several other cities, sometimes under other names. In Atlanta, for example, the program was known as FACE 5 (Firearms in Atlanta Can Equal 5 years in federal prison). While many have discontinued or modified their programs, Project Exile is still in effect in Rochester, New York.[1]

Look, bruh... either bring your politics to the political forum where it belongs, or quit talking politics.
There is a forum dedicated to just such conversations. If you're not willing to discuss it there... why the fk bring it here to discuss it? |

All gun laws are unconstitutional.
If you disagree you’re a Commie. |

Unless you beat the victim with a gun, wouldn't the projectile be the culprit and not the gun? |
