    I can easily follow that logic and I get it. The whole point is that the poster is arguing they deserve to be punished by arguing that people would be punished by the us system. What the us system does or does not do has zero bearing on whether this is just.

      ok, think of it this way then:

      they went out of their way to patronize a country that does NOT invite firearms-tourism. why weren’t they smart enough or patriotic bang bang enough to travel someplace they could bring their stuff to?

      tsk. poor decision making by them, poor judgement by the gun lovers in this thread who would see them skate on their crimes.

        I couldn’t care less why they weren’t smart enough. I’m okay with them being punished for it, but in these cases a fine seems more reasonable than a decade in prison.

        I’m for pretty strict gun control. You are exposing yourself here: this isn’t about being reasonable, it’s about some vengefulness against gun owners. Get out of your black and white thinking and taking sides and be objective.
