In 2015, James Morales broke into the Lincoln Stoddard United States Army Reserve Center in Worcester, Massachusetts and stole six M-4 carbines and ten M-11 semi-automatic handguns from the weapons vault. He then took his haul home and asked his room mates, Tyrone James and Ashley Bigsbee to help him sell the weapons. They did and they were both arrested. Bigsbee was sentenced to 21 months in prison for her part. James was sentenced yesterday, according to Reuters<\/a> to 57months in jail and 3 years of supervised release.<\/p>\n

Tyrone James, 29…was one of two men who admitted to receiving guns stolen from an Army Reserve facility in Worcester, Massachusetts, about 40 miles (70 km) west of Boston, in November 2015.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors have charged James Morales with carrying out that heist, alleging he broke into the building through a kitchen window a few days after he noticed a cache of weapons while visiting the facility to pick up copies of his discharge papers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the Washington Times<\/a>, James wasn’t a first-time offender;<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring an interview on Nov. 20, 2015, James repeatedly lied to federal agents concerning his knowledge of the sale of the firearms. Further, at the time of this offense, James had been previously convicted of three counts of armed robbery and one count of armed assault in a dwelling making him a felon in possession of those weapons,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

James was ultimately charged with conspiracy to possess, store and sell stolen firearms, possession and sale of stolen firearms and lying to federal agents, and pleaded guilty to all counts in December 2016.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Massachusetts is pretty strict with legal gun owners, but I guess not so much with criminals. Bigsbee and James weren’t making arrangements to sell those fully-automatic weapons to legal gun owners – the guns probably would have appeared at crime scenes across the state if they had got away with their crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
