There needs to be some leeway on this, a person may not even know a gun is illegal or may be holding it for a friend. While that is still stupid it's not minimum 5 years stupid if they had no intention of hurting anyone.

Post these penalties on billboards/front pages and watch violent crime drop.

Not sure why you need to specify the gun as being illegal. Using any gun in the commision of a crime should be the same penalty. There would probably also be a separate charge however for having the illegal gun.
