A Conservative MP is proposing a law to toughen mandatory sentences for carrying a gun (5 years), firing a gun (10 years) and hurting/killing someone with a gun (15 years).
Maybe it's just because the media reports are misleading, but what the hell??? 5 years for CARRYING a gun???
The reports almost try to portray the courts in a negative light for previously declaring such laws cruel and unusual. If the laws banning "carrying" went into effect, they surely would be cruel and unusual as well.
I know that the law is intended to go after criminals, but people generally carry guns for self defense, even in the case of criminals.
I don't see how or why the Conservative caucus is so united behind this idea.
