The serial number was scratched off...come on. Should his sentence have been lighter? Yes, I think so, due to his history and non use of the firearm in general, but being a collector, he damn well knew better.
    Screw that noise^! Supreme Law of the Land is the Constitution. 2A is very clear. The unconstitutional "laws" that he broke are retarded and no one should be following them in the first place.

    What harm did he cause? Where is the harm in owning a FA firearm, in scratching some numbers? It's pathetic that these trivial bullshit things can ruin your life and net you 7 years in jail. It's unacceptable. Especially when real criminals get wrist slapped and sent back out to do more crime that actually hurts people and society as a whole.

    We are a nation of too many laws that do nothing but hurt innocent people and too few actual criminals paying for their crimes.

    The real crime is the unconstitutional laws, the real travesty is the complacency of the populace in following such retarded bullshit ****ing laws.
    We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

    And no matter how many times we try to explain this, fight it in Courts and send money to the NRA, it's not going to change because people of voting age are more concerned about their fears than their rights or our Constitution.
    If you attempt to explain this to someone, even someone who you would consider intelligent and conservative, they will ask you "Why do you NEED a Machinegun?"
    That's not the intent of the Second Amendment, but it is the reality we live in.
    I'm curious which one of his "Friends" got caught in a bind and turned him in?

    Victimless crime....


    All FA and NFA laws only effect the law abiding.

    If gun guys were as tenacious as the stupid stoners are, we'd have the NFA dismantled.

    Someone that gets it! IMO this case is a great example to all the like warm conservatives and moderates out there. We have an example of a man who served his country with honor, has never been in trouble and is given 7 years because of the unconstitutional nonsensical gun control laws we have. The man is 70 years of age and is given 7 years? As others have pointed out, people get way more time for crimes with actual victims. Why were my tax dollars spent to ruin this man’s life?

    The man was most likely in possession of a stolen firearm. Why else would the serial number be ground off? Last I checked the possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm with a ground off serial number are both felony offenses. The fact that the weapon was F.A. is insulary in my opinion.

    It’s disheartening to see us as gun owners eating our own, throwing each other under the bus. While I abide by NFA and 922(o), I know them to be unconstitutional and thus do not support the injustice done to this man.

    I disagree, I think his prison cell would be better filled with Eric Holder for the Fast and Furious scandal.

    With Kavanaugh on SCOTUS, I like the odds... However, I think it would be wise to wait for Ginsburg to kick the bucket and Trump appoint her replacement before a blockbuster 2a case (like NFA/Hughes amendment) is challenged.
