Come On Guys....You Are Just Yanking Our Chains

I recognize the efforts of Harper and McGinty to come across a law and order leaders but the laws in place are not being applied......possession/use of a restricted weapon should be dealt with as a seperate crime and any sentence handed down would be a consecutive sentence and would be handled in an expeditious manner. There should be no trial delays...we have the gun and it was found in the suspect's possession. There is no defense, no mitigating circumstances. Zero tolerance...maximum time.

Leaders unite against gun crime

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Premier Dalton McGuinty and Mayor David Miller will today unveil plans to make it harder for those accused of gun crimes to get back on the street, the Toronto Star has learned.The three men, who have never shared a stage together, will meet at Toronto's Sheraton Centre Hotel to announce ambitious measures targeting gun criminals not far from where teenager Jane Creba was shot to death on Yonge St. last Boxing Day.Sources say Harper will confirm his support for "reverse onus" bail conditions, which would require accused gun criminals to demonstrate why they should be released.The Prime Minister is also expected to repeat his call for mandatory minimum sentences of up to 10 years on gun-toting criminals, which his minority government has so far failed to get passed into law.
