This guy led a crew of criminals who broke into gun stores and stole guns...supplying them to criminals...and he only received 10 years for his crime.....this is why we have gun crime......he should have been put in prison for 30 years......
But hey.....lets turn a normal gun owner into a felon if they make a mistake on their paperwork.......
Leader of crew that stole 340 firearms from gun stores gets 10 years
The ringleader of a crew that stole 340 firearms from gun stores around the southeast has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
------
In addition to the 14 stores Coffey successfully burglarized, he also attempted to break into six other stores and burglarized some stores multiple times. Coffey planned each of the break-ins and would use different methods of entry to the shops, including throwing rocks and welding torches that would burn through door locks.
Some of the stolen guns were used in shootings and other crimes and have been recovered by law enforcement officers as far away as Chicago and Washington, D.C. Some of the firearms have yet to be recovered.
Back in May, Coffey pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to steal firearms from licensed gun dealers, theft of firearms from licensed gun dealers, and possession and sale of stolen firearms. In addition to the 10 years on prison, he will also have to serve three years of supervised release and has been ordered to pay $51,128.89 in restitution.
