We need to send a stern message to idiots like this one if any headway is to be made in the fight against the proliferation of illegal firearms in this country. Current sentencing rules clearly are not working.
Two years hard labour for the gun and three years hard labour for stupidity, not to run concurrently. To hell with the naysayers: bring back hard labour.
In addition, do whatever it takes (sodium pentothal perhaps?) to find out where he got the weapon and deal with the supplier appropriately. We have to get serious to lick this problem. The next person shot may be a politician. Dare we hope?
