If we're going to abolish the long gun registry, I think that there really needs to be a review on sentencing for vioent crimes involving guns.

Its unlikely that most gun crimes involve weapons that have been legally bought and registered, and its going to be impossible to shut down the gun smuggling from the States and Asia.

I just think that a gun crime should automatically be a 25 year minimum sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years.

Any criminal thats willing to use a gun is a criminal that had to work to get a gun and deliberately planned to use that gun whether for intimidation or killing.

Gun toting criminals are not your standard criminals, they've stepped over a very large line in the sand.
