Pretty detailed write-up at that site.


Oh yes, more perps were arrested than were convicted. Maybe they got one or two to flip, or were juvies and cut loose. Some convicted felons in there, which may explain the 96 and 120 month sentences.

It's amazing how many felons in possession arrests there are. One might imagine that would be one good place to start with some sort of federal "three strikes and yer out" law.

What is street price on a stolen gun anyway? Trying to figure out how much those 32 guns would have brought in. Am guessing that all 4 of them could have made that much in a month or two at some $15/hr fast food joint.


Old article said 6 arrested and value over $20k
