"This should be a national law and it should be publicized well."

FYI- Current federal law [18 USC 924(c)]:

Possession of firearms during violent crime: 5 years, madatory minimum. (All terms cannot be suspended or served concurrently with any other sentence.)

If weapon is brandished: 7 year mandatory

If weapon is discharged: 10 year mandatory

If discharge results in death: Life

The problem is not with the current law, just in getting the U.S. Attorney's office to prosecute the offenses.
