If they hand him over to the feds, he's fuct 
He's lucky the ATF didn't do him like they did the Branch Davidians.

Rep Power: 39 | | | Having to face mowing nearly two acres, and having a lwn which kills lawnmovers every damned year, I confess to a certain amount of sympathy for this guy's plight.
I don't understand what crime he committed, and the article doe NOT tell us, either.
Crappy reporting, folks. |

Short-barreled shotgun may seem trivial, but it isn't. NFA violations are a big fucking deal, and like I said, if he's turned over to the feds he's going to go away for a long time.

"Man shoots wife with rifle - and does NOT get arrested?"  Fla. woman attacked by fox, then shot in the leg - Yahoo! News
When lawnmower man goes to court he just has to claim ... "it was an accident! I was actually trying to shoot a snake that had crawled under the lawn mower"!
Case closed!

As long as we allow handguns to be legal (something I would change were I king, BTW) then really...what difference does it make? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
