convicted felon,in possession of unregistered machine guns and
silencers,possession of machine guns and possession fo firearms by a
felon;gets probation,1500 hrs of community service,a year to complete
2/3s of the comm.service,and then 12 months +/- in prison,depending on
his performance during probation.

Each count was worth at least 5 years in prison....


In the meantime...

"Two to serve more than a decade for gun violations. Ernest Wade
Canipe was sentenced to 16 years and Terrence 'Twank' Fields was
sentenced to 11 years....both for being convicted felons in possession
of firearms." In both cases, the gun was a 9mm pistol.
