A Florida man has pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. This comes after a traffic stop revealed a variety of weapons in the man’s vehicle.

Basilio Amaury Bron, Jr. 43, Cape Coral, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.

According to court documents, on March 12, 2022, at around 5:00 p.m., Bron was driving carelessly and more than 100 miles per hour northbound on Interstate 75 near the Laurel Road exit.

A deputy from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office stopped Bron’s vehicle for speeding.

The deputy conducted a background check which revealed that Bron was a convicted felon on federal supervised release. During the traffic stop, the odor of marijuana emanated from Bron’s vehicle, and two 20-inch tactical swords were visible near the driver’s seat and the driver’s door.

Bron also admitted to having a firearm in the vehicle. The deputy located a SCCY CPX-1 9mm pistol, loaded with seven rounds of ammunition, inside the vehicle’s center console and a bag containing 4 grams of marijuana.

The deputy also recovered a pair of nunchucks from the driver’s seat pocket.

Bron later admitted to ATF agents that he had possessed the firearm, handled it multiple times, and sold marijuana.

In 2016, Bron was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. Therefore, he is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.

You would think somebody who had already done time would be wise enough to drive at a near-normal speed while handling his business.

RE: and sold marijuana.

By today’s updated White House story, not only cocaine found but marijuana lately.

Maybe he was on his way to apply for a job as White House aide. Depends valet. Hunter’s drug mule. Something to earn a buck.

The nunchuks were for cracking walnuts.
The swords were for Japanese style cooking he learned on TV.
The gun was to turn in for the cash for guns program to get the awful thing away from him.

The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.... If he did his sentence, then his rights should be restored.

In FL, they can apply to have them restored.
Used to be that way.

I’m sorry, Mr. Bron, but your application to join the ninja club is denied. You can try again once you obtain some Shuriken (which is the official term for throwing stars).
