I don't see why several of you are complaining about Abramski's sentence. He got 5 years probation. Montelongo got 3 1/2 years in prison.
Montelongo's actions are the sort of thing this law was supposed to punish. Those guns went into the hands of criminals and were used in homicides. The sentence for straw purchasing is supposed to be ten years.

We won't fully enforce the law for people who do real harm, but we'll prosecute a man on malum prohibitum? Sorry, but I can't get behind that.
