Where is the outcry from all the anti-gunners? A felon only gets 7 years for drugs, theft, AND illegally possessing multiple firearms! Where are the feds? The guy should get 10 years in the prison just for the firearms. Oh wait...antigunners don't want to punish criminals, they just want to take guns away from lawful citizens.

I. POSSESSION OR RECEIPT OF A FIREARM OR AMMUNITION BY A PROHIBITED PERSON: 18 USC § 922(g). Punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment.
