This is what he gets for having served his country.

"No one is above the Law" (except Hunter Biden and Alec Baldwin - watch those two get suspended sentences and community service while Vickers gets a long prison term.) No wonder so many Americans are cynical about our "justice" system.

Conviction rate in Federal court on Federal charges brought by DOJ is somewhere north of 97 percent.

The ATF is sending a national message to the Second Amendment Americans, that they can at any time concoct charges, when it serves their purpose----to strike fear in the heart of the firearm's community. IANAL, but it looks to me that Obama-Biden's ATF strategically selected Vickers and company, who were walking in the legal grey area (which I'm sure many reside) because of they provided the Administration with the greatest Shock Value.

How many do you believe are operating within a grey area of this law? I went to Vicker's website this morning and watched a Russian Operations Unit working with Vickers. It certainly doesn't look as if he was hiding anything. Vicker's bent the rules a bit, nothing more. Why? Because lots and lots of people are doing it......because they're Firearms Junkies and indulged because the possibility was there.

No one died. No one committed any criminal acts against the US. No one was harmed. They just wanted a rare piece of history, because it was available.

Given his service to this country, this could have been handled with phone call.

Old boys network Lee? Where does that end? If I do some time in uniform I can commit a certain amount of crimes later and get away with it? How about if my Dad is President? That line of thinking is ruinous and corrupt.

Vickers got charged for following the law. The “law letter” is now treated by ATF as a loop-hole that will get some of Biden’s imagined “problem FFL’s” sent to prison. Those machine guns weren’t going anywhere but to other SOTs. God, but there’s a bunch of NFA collections gonna be targeted, now.

In my opinion, the real story is how bad you're screwed when a U.S. Attorney gets on your case. Federal prosecutors have unlimited resources. There's no way you can afford to defend yourself. LAV didn't have a choice but to take a plea.

Absolute zionist nonsense. You can see how much our masters hate the Russians because they imagine their great-grandmothers being r*ped by Cossacks (this never happened, the Cossacks didn't want to catch the clap, just like none of the Hamas heroes wanted to get AIDS from 'israeli' ravers).

Well Vickers knew his police chief buddies were heads of very very small departments that didn't even have SWAT team, no need what so ever for full auto capabilities, yet he benefited from these fraudulent "law letters"; he should have known better, game the system like that and get caught. I think his obsession with his AK hobbies clouded his mindset. Very sad ending to a great career and life.
