How much time should thieves get for stealing 32 guns?

"four men have been sentenced for their involvement in the theft of 32 firearms from a gun dealer in Maurice, Louisiana"
They got sentences of 14 to 120 months.
With overcrowding and early release programs, who knows how much time they'll actually serve. Not to mention appeals because this was doubtless their first brush with the law ever.

"All four of the men admitted to their involvement in stealing 32 firearms from the premises of Swampland Trading Co., a licensed firearms dealer located in Maurice, Louisiana, on September 7, 2021"
Figured robbing a gun store would have automatically had stiffer minimum penalties.

Finally found pictures of the haul and the perps

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

I think the theft of one gun should equal at least 30 years in prison. Guns acquired illegally are used to commit most of the murders in this country. That's common sense gun control.

5 years per firearm.

At least 1 hand chopped off and a few fingers off the other. I fricking hate a thief. Someone traded hours of their life for money to pay for the shite you stole.
