The other is issue is punishment.

Use of weapon (loaded, unloaded or facsimile) ought to mean a mandatory long term sentence.

No. Not punishment. Rehabilitation.

For a guy like this, there’s no point to punishment. He’s already killed. There is nothing that could be done to him that would any way revenge.

It’s possible to rehabilitate him, not into a normal person, but someone who can attest to his crime and express remorse and help others avoid it.

That’s really unlikely too.

But longer jail sentences are not going to be effective in curtailing gun crimes. At all.
