I agree, but how many do the crime, get caught, and do no time? That is not to say what he did was right, but minor crimes get dealt away all the time. Especially over something, (and I am trivializing here), that amounts to a serious traffic violation. He was supposed to register the gun, no question. He wasn't using it in a robbery or pointing at someone threating to kill them. He didn't kill anyone. He didn't hurt anyone but himself. Could he have? Yes. But he didn't. He is being punished for failure to register the gun, and 2 years is a bit much in my opinion.
