Jerk with record who stole machine guns at Valley Forge show is nailed

[John Sukey (Deceased)]

The way things are, he'll probably get 5 years and serve 3.

Nope just one stolen automatic weapon is good for TEN YEARS and he stole more than one. He has free room and board until he dies.

In Massachusetts a career criminal with a sawed off shotgun served 18 months of the mandatory sentence. (Don't ask me to dig out the article).

In response to another poster. Whois to say it will come before a Judge and Jury? Who is to say it won't be plea bargained?

There is one heck of a difference! A sawed off shotgun comes under the "any other weapon" heading. An automatic weapon is an entirely DIFFERENT matter and keep in mind, the perp STOLE several, and SOLD them.

Good point. I guess my cynicism is showing.

I think your cynicism is well placed. in the land of the P.C., the same people who wish to separate us from our guns with new laws feel sorry for the criminals and want to rehabilitate them. He probably wont be charged with any statute that requires a mandatory sentence, I think that is their way to alleviate the suffering of the "misunderstood". I would like to see him get the sentence that John mentioned, but I wont be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
