That's different though. He was a felon trying to buy a firearm. It's easy to buy guns in the U.S. if you're not an ex-con. This country has no shortage of guns for sale. There are many times more guns in this country than there are people. Couldn't he just find a dirty pawn shop operator and pay 3x what the guns worth or buy one off the street in the ghetto like every other felon? The penalty isn't any worse and there's less chance of getting caught. What an imbecile. lol
