15 max for illegally selling fire arms involved in a homicide? Here's part of the problem, it should be 15 mandatory per fire arm illegally sold, 25 mandatory for each illegally sold fire arm involved in a homicide. You deter crime with consequences, the more severe the crime, the more severe the consequences.

Small point of clarification - he didn’t sell the guns to the shooters, he sold the guns that were used in the shooting to a CI

15yrs is a long time to be in prison. Longer sentences don’t necessarily deter criminals either.

15 is a young age to be murdered too. Might have been avoided if the gun wasn't sold illegally to the shooter. $3k isn't much if you're looking at 25yrs in a cage.

15 IS a young age to be murdered, but he didn’t sell them the murder weapon, he sold the murder weapon to someone else afterwards. What I’m sure as shit curious about though is how it ended up in his hands. There’s a lot missing from this piece.

If he’s selling guns no questions asked to people he knows aren’t allowed to own firearms, I think whether or not he sells someone a gun that they will use in a murder isn’t a question of if but when.
