But then don't enforce the ones we have. CPS student gets 5 years for bringing a machine gun to school (but he won’t serve any actual prison time)
Possession of an unregistered (illegal) machine gun is violation of the National Firearms Act. I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure the penalty is a decade or more in jail. But that would be federal crime, not an Illinois crime. And Cook County would have to ceded jurisdiction, which would spoil their win/loss record or something.
Marquis Terry, 20, pleaded guilty to possession of a machine gun in exchange for the sentence from Judge Kenneth Wadas. However, after receiving a variety of sentencing credits, Terry is not expected to spend any time in prison.
Besides, Illinois is convinced that putting criminals in jail is unfair.
