Prob because they can Alex.

In a few other countries where perps did use arms in execution of stuff like robberies - they changed the firearms laws and also changed the sentencing procedures with a minimum of 12 years if a firearm was involved (that's before consideration of a penalty for the actual robbery offense).

The result? Armed robberies dropped dramatically - it's was no longer "profitable". And..... blue-collar theft/fraud increased
