I think law abiding gun owners would be all for mandatory minimums when you catch a criminal with an illegal firearm obviously meant to be used in a crime. But then the liberal crowd somehow spins that into mandatory minimums don’t work snd we need rehabilitation etc!!!
You don’t think that if there were mandatory minimums for gun crime that it would be drastically effected? The guy shooting at cops in delta the other day is a prime example. You’re caught with an illegal firearm you have no right to own or hold? You’re going away for 5 years with no chance of parole period. I’m pretty sure that would get the message through. But rather than that the liberals are throwing multi-billion dollars back into a gun buy-back program targeting law abiding citizens? It makes zero sense and will not make anyone safer.
On 980 today they were talking to a cop who just caught a guy who was on a BC wide felony warrant for burglary and theft. When they caught him red handed literally smashing a store front in yet another robbery they found:
Knives
Bear mace
A replica handgun
Meth
Fentynal
Crack
On him..you know this guy is gonna be out next week! It’s fucking insane. Law abiding people just holding their breathe hoping their families aren’t effected by career criminals like this. It’s fucking crazy
