2 plead guilty in Pa.-to-NYC gun-trafficking case

http://online.wsj.com/article/AP0b18daaca66c4b7aa379b4a15d7c2997.html

NEW YORK — Two men have admitted selling guns from western Pennsylvania in New York City.

Albert Striegel (STREE'-guhl) pleaded guilty in New York Friday to a firearms-sale charge. He's expected to get a nine-year prison term at a July 11 sentencing.

Travis Matthews pleaded guilty Thursday to a more serious gun-sale charge and is set to get a 16-year sentence.

Matthews is from Pittsburgh. Striegel is from Ambridge, Pa., about 20 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

But...but...but... There is no gun running in Amerika.

Failing to enforce a law is negligence.

Was there something here you wanted to discuss? Or was it just a drive-by news posting?

No one here has said that there is "no gun running in America". (I refuse to use your insulting spelling.)

Es ist "die Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika", oder einfach "die Vereinigte Staaten."

"Amerika" is a little less precise, if you are trying to use German spellings to.....do whatever.

Can't be true and has no business being on DU, at least according to the gun control people.

If it's not covered in the Huffpo it never really happened or it's an outright right wing lie. <sarcasm off>

Another Jpak manufactured Myth, that there's no gun running, well outside of the BATFE anyway, in America.

What are the others ...?

Oh yeah, "Guns for everyone, everywhere, all the time", "Concealed carry permit holders never break the law", "Guns for children" what other "do it yourself" myths (myth = made up lies) am I missing here guys?
