Mandatory seven-year minimum for firearm and ammunition offences upheld; mitigating factors not "exceptional" to reduce sentence.
Criminal law – Firearms – Statutory mandatory minimum sentence – "Exceptional circumstances" is a high threshold requiring holistic, fact-specific inquiry; personal mitigation alone rarely sufficient to disapply minimum. Sentencing – Application of R v Avis four questions (weapon, use, intent, record) and principles in R v Rehman and R v Nancarrow. Deterrence and Parliament’s purpose weigh heavily in upholding mandatory minimums for firearm offences.
