For more government handouts there must be an increase in taxes, after all they might promise that the more taxes you pay the more criminals they will punish or the more compensation they can pay to businesses affected by crime. With higher taxes, the government ultimately has more power and control over how everything goes.
I can't think of any other reason other than pure incompetence as to why they are making things more difficult for the average joe in regards to firearm ownership, but there is so little punishment for illegally armed criminals.

To JessicaChen's point and your image - I don't want to specifically address a particular country, so I'll just ask, that anyone that's interested in governments and their approaches to populations, have a look at Russia, the USA, and the UK and see what the messaging is, around current events.

In my view

Russia - Putin wants to be a modern Tzar
USA - recent failed attempt to have an Orange Tzar
UK - currently removing a Tzar wannabe.

Regarding the OP

I've got access to multiple Lawyers and Judges. Often there are personal circumstances that are not publicly available that would explain the sentence - like - "he did all of this whilst the real criminal held a gun to his child's head" or similar.

BUT

Just on what's reported, I agree that "unlawful possession of a firearm" should be punished by - six months in stocks in the village square, with no shelter from the elements.



and for liars
