Liverpool Unites against Gun Crime: The Liverpool Echo is calling on the people of the city, and those wider afield, to support our campaign calling for legislative changes to laws surrounding gun and gang violence. The Liverpool Echo has launched the campaign in the wake of the murder of schoolboy Rhys Jones. We call on the Government to: * Provide 1,000 more police officers for Merseyside. * Deliver a minimum sentence of 10 years for illegal possession of a firearm. * Provide more resources for the witness protection programme, to give greater confidence to those prepared to come forward. * Implement controls to make it much harder for criminals to acquire guns or re-commission decommissioned weapons.
