Current maximum sentences for all firearms offences are custodial. https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/news/item/new-sentencing-guidelines-for-firearms-offences-published/ Sentencing in individual criminal cases is the responsibility of the independent judiciary, not the PM. https://www.judiciary.uk/about-the-judiciary/our-justice-system/jud-acc-ind/justice-sys-and-constitution/#:~:text=An%20explicit%20statutory%20duty%20on,to%20defend%20the%20judiciary's%20independence.
