You have chosen to side with the perpetrator, overstating both his prior record and gilding his unlawful behavior in this matter, calling him "a fastidious conservator and custodian of the weapon." That's totally asinine, IMHO. The proper custodian of this unlawfully defaced M14 was/is the U. S. Armory at Aniston, the proper agent to determine its disposition. Any person still upholding the honor of accepting a commission would know that, would fulfill the trust placed in him, and would see that it was reported and properly restored to the original owner, U. S. Army Ordnance.
Instead, he chose to illegally purchase it, unlawfully hide it until his secret was revealed by bragging, the weapon confiscated, he being given a fair trial, and sentenced for his abuse of the trust placed in him. Apparently, your perception of honesty and fidelity has been inverted by whatever brainwashing that you have subscribed to.
And I do care that your opinion has been so bent as to be useless in a reasonable discussion.

My “perception of “honesty” and “fidelity” when it comes to public officials has indeed washed my brain. Eric Holder, The Clintons, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Lynch, Rosenstein, Sessions, Obama, Rinos, McConnell....just to name a few among many are fine examples of my diminished respect for government officials which is an opinion shared by most on FR I think but obviously not you.
Around my neighborhood, we’ve sent judges to prison very recently too, so, NO, I don’t share your asinine statement that a judge automatically is better informed than EVERYONE else ergo his/her rulings should always remain beyond question and be obeyed like him/her was an emperor rather than a lawyer with a black robe on...……....particularly when sending an old man to prison for LIFE. By the way, I also don’t share your myopic opinion that he will grow and learn and have fun in prison. Maybe you should volunteer to spend a month in one. It might re- affirm your opinion.
Finally, since my opinions are useless to you, let’s let this be the end of our discussion.
