Man pleads guilty to illegal gun purchase scheme
A 31-year-old Bronx, NY resident today admitted his involvement in a scheme to illegally purchase guns from several Luzerne County firearms dealers, according to a federal prosecutor.
Peter J. Smith, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, in a release said that Terrell Madison pleaded guilty before Senior U.S. District Court Judge Edwin M. Kosik to conspiracy to make false statements and false representations to acquire firearms. The guns were illegally purchased from Piestrak’s Gun Shop, Homeland Tactical III, and D & R Sporting Goods between August 12 and August 28, 2008.
Madison admitted to participating in the illegal scheme with others. The conspiracy involved the illegal purchase of more than 10 firearms, some of which were taken to New York and sold on the streets. Madison is the third defendant to plead guilty in the case.
Madison and three others were indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2009, as a result of an investigation by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and the Pennsylvania State Police.
Madison faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing has not yet been scheduled.troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Amazing how actual enforcement of existing laws works.

Re: Man pleads guilty to illegal gun purchase scheme
There is a small part of my mind thinking... all he is doing is supplying people who cannot possibly legally purchase in their home city because of an unconstitutional law.
Small, small part of me, but it sits there.

Re: Man pleads guilty to illegal gun purchase scheme
i agree. If we got away from unconstitutional laws he wouldn't have done this.

For some reason I doubt he was buying them to sell to otherwise law abiding citizens seeking to protect their families.

Re: Man pleads guilty to illegal gun purchase scheme
Please tell me where it says in the Constitution, that the second amendment only applies to "law abiding citizens"? Once a convict is released into society, he should have all of his rights restored, as his debt to society has been paid in full. If the person is truly a danger, they should never be released.
