Wow read the comments below the article,def some cop haters there.
So let me get this right, he hurt no one. Stole from no one. No victim in the case. Certainly guilty of being foolish. Basically for forging a signature with the knowledge of the person who he was forging? Not using public money to buy a cop a MG. No grand plans of mass murder with what he should have legally be allowed to buy anyway according to 2A.
This is the kind of insane stuff you hear about and then wonder who's side justice is on. There are people who murder people getting off easier. I sure wish I had been on the jury! However something tells me there is a lot of stuff going on behind the curtain on this one. Where is that GD blue line on something like this?
What exactly is the "National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record"??
Is that just for NFA things? If not, I think we have a problem here...
So he forged his boss's signature and bought himself a post-86 sample by way of the police department?
I don't think he deserves five years in a Fed pen, but... play stupid games... this was definitely worse than just forging CLEO approval on something he could legally own.
As badly as I want an M16, there are some lines you just don't cross.
I didn't think a Post May MG could be transferred to an individual. Am I wrong?
It can per se.
A SOT wih LE letter. Depends how they setup the company.
The post 86 gun could have went to the Sheriffs department, not the major. Then the Major could have signed out the gun, and did whatever he pleased.
Forgery is still a crime in itself...
Sure, I can see that. Maybe a few days, weeks in jail... but 5 years?
As far as it being a post sample... yeah this guy was playing with fire.
Aren't these forgings called secretarial signatures? If his boss knew he was signing and was done so with his approval?
However I still say, no victim, no threats, no evil plans, nothing morally wrong other then lying when forging the signature. Something that should be protected by 2A. Nothing broken but Malum prohibitum law... that should not be getting a half decade jail sentence much less in these times when no one is getting the time they should. I mean Michael Vick gets what, 2 years? This to me was not worse than that? Think how long 5 years is! Is that justice? I say no.
It bugs me that people in cases like this say well be broke the law basically saying that whatever he gets it justified. First I would argue the Government is infringing on his 2A rights. So right there, I am on his side. This idea that he broke some petty law and was stupid and so deserves no defense to me just sounds crazy. What he did wrong should not have been needed anyway. Just because its law, does not make it right or just.
