I agree with LawDog on this one. Being stupid is not a defense. If the 1993 incident is true, he should have fought it. The fact that he didn't means that he is a fool. He didn't, he plead out to a felony. He made his bed, he can sleep in it. For all those who call for enforcement of existing laws, this is one of them. Convicted felons can't own guns and to make it worse he admitted to committing the felony. It also sounds like he had other unregistered machine guns in his possession this time along with an unregistered destructive device (the Streetsweeper). If he has regular firearms in his home those could belong to his wife. As G. Gordon Liddy says, 'Mrs. Liddy has one of the finest German Lugar collections around'.
