WHY would you steal and smuggle it back in the first place, its not like it could ever become a legal collector weapon from the fall of Saddam .. he was a thief and a smuggler ........

Thank you for your 20 years in the military. You may have carried a machine gun every day but you are a criminal if you have one here. Makes a lot of sense.

They should give him the gun and piss off-

Sure...put a guy in prison for ten years for taking home what was, I'm sure, only one of many blinged up weapons owned by a homicidal dictator.

Semper Fi.

I hope a court has mercy on this guy, he deserves it.

Geesh.

please explain how he deserves anything when convicted of not 1 but 3 charges of illegally smuggling in machine guns , misuse of his post and misuse of U.S. property ?

My favorite part:

possession of an illegal chrome AK-47

Wasn't very smart to steal it.

lets piss away more time and more money rather than "roping" the real criminals

Quote from the LAtimes article on the same subject:
As if BG's aren't already stealing guns. I guess we can pretend Ft. Irwin didn't happen either.

Hell, there are legally owned full-auto guns out there? Aren't they worried about those too?

War trophies used to be a regular thing. I don't know why we stopped.

smuggling machine guns into the U.S. is not a "real" crime ?

guess it would be if he was a just joe blow and not a marine that disgraced the corp.
