They are accused (remember, they haven’t been convicted of anything yet) of legally obtaining firearms, and then selling them to people who for whatever reason cannot legally purchase them. > **[3 Army soldiers, 9 others accused in gun trafficking ring](https://www.kwqc.com/2022/04/01/3-army-soldiers-9-others-accused-gun-trafficking-ring/?fbclid=IwAR0cyPSBn3YiUnPTshp3If4N2SEVUxS-H_e4C3F0bgCm_7uBQpIMsH54q6E)** > > The indictment charges the group with conspiring to violate federal firearms laws, among other crimes. If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison. Of course, the ammosexuals are having a field day with this on a local message board. ---

This “ammosexual” sees this as a very good thing; it’s been the one consistent message us “substitute penis fetishists” have been asking for for decades, in lieu of more gun control: enforce existing laws, lock up the criminals breaking them. I hope our law enforcement agencies, federal, state, county, and municipal, can continue to work together to score many more such victories, and that our court systems can see fit to throw the book at them and keep them locked up for the maximum possible sentence. In the meantime, I’ll just go jam the barrel of one of my guns up my ass and tickle my prostate whilst I masturbate to the latest issue of Guns and Ammo. ---
