Active-duty US Navy servicewoman from Norfolk admits to illegal gun buy
The short version, a young lady in the Navy did a straw purchase of 5 handguns and 200 rounds of ammunition in VA for a couple in New Jersey. She was caught and plead guilty. The worst she can get is a 250,000 fine and up to five years in jail. IMO its not severe enough. The 250k fine is ok but the jail sentence should be no less than 5 years up to 15 per gun. So in this case a 1.25 million dollar fine and a jail term of 25 to 75 years would be appropriate.
My question is to all the people looking to harass law abiding citizens in the name of “gun control”. What would be your sentencing guidelines on straw purchasers, something that would cut down on people not allowed to own a gun from getting one.
