He got the shaft. Poor guy. Gulf war vet doing 3years for having the auto. it was locked up in his safe in his home.
It would cost the tax payers less money to.I kind of wonder if the time in prison will increase the former US soldier's love of Country and increase his pride in serving in combat, or perhaps impress him on the illegality of firing guns in a residential area? The US has more full auto weapons, registered & legal, illegal, and in otherwise circumstances in the hands of civilians than likely any other nation in the world.
I guess they are fun, I can hardly afford ammo for my semi plinkers, though. Aside from opinion, if they took his weapon and fined him pretty stiff it woud have been
more sensible.....
