   I hope he gets 15 years prison in maximum security. Even Hells Angels   
   have a hard time obtaining firearms. They cant legally own them usu. and   
   they rely on an up and coming associate to look after a stash of guns   
   they can readily obtain. Gun dealers hate dealing with HAMC because they   
   figure the outlaw bikers will just turn around and rob them some time in   
   the future. Guns bought illegally allow criminals to increase their   
   damage and to intimidate that much more. He should also lose custody of   
   his sons he is a evil man and a total idiot if h emade less than 4k on   
   the gun deals.
