Regardless of whether it can be shown that a drive-by shooting is connected to a criminal organization, this proposed offence would make it a mandatory minimum of four years in jail if you can show that the shooter fired a gun with reason to believe that he was running the risk of killing somebody. They may be shooting at somebody in particular, or they may be shooting wildly, but you will have an offence that will provide a four-year mandatory minimum sentence. That will go up to five years if you can prove that it was connected with a criminal organization.
