Is this a new law or a change to a current law: new law

What law do you wish to change/add:
9.8 Theft while armed with offensive weaponry
It is a criminal offence to commit theft of a persons or companies possessions or property while armed with a offensive weapon

Liable to 6 years and a $5.000 fine

Why should this change/addition be made: right now the punishment for theft is a joke people are committing serious armed robbery's and getting 3 years 3k if they dont use the gun on anyone or run

What is the aim of this change/addition: clamps down harder on people committing serious armed robbery's that don't end up shooting anyone or committing 6.5 etc

Possession of an offensive weapon and displayal of an offensive weapon already covers being found in possession of a weapon whilst committing a crime or to aid in committing a crime.
