  1. This is yet another of the nefarious consequences of Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937 that my fellow compassionate conservative sunshine commenters accurately associate with the sustained decline of formerly beautiful McHenry county. Sunshine blogger, don’t you have that picture of the gorgeous machine gun found in this house? I mean, for those of us who cherish our second amendment rights. 191 days. Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeoooooowwwwwww…

  2. I think that’s a very fair punishment considering the laws. Wouldn’t have been possible without a paid lawyer.

  3. If only the Feds would follow up with an appropriate sentence for the machine gun (and any other firearms) found in the possession of this previously convicted felon, then maybe. .

  4. Legalize it and stop punishments for a drug far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco.

  5. They didn’t mention the 1000 narcotic pills or that his previous charge was for selling hundreds of illegal guns stolen from his father’s store when he was a teenager.

    One was used to kill a person in a drive by gang fight.

    He should be punished for that.

  6. David soskin was a good man i worked for him begor he was an orthdox jew hes a very family oriented man all you talking shit should stfu
