This Might be a Deterrent

If you make the punishment painful enough, it might make an impression:

• A man who trafficked fentanyl and cocaine and illegally possessed 17 firearms inside his Wicker Park home has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison, officials announced Thursday.

  Hugo Pinzon, 36, pleaded guilty to federal drug and firearm charges in exchange for the sentence from U.S. District Judge John Kness, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago.

And this was a guilty plea, so you know the feds were pushing for twenty years just for starters. 

This is why Project Exile worked in Virginia for the short amount of time in was in effect - ten year minimum, federal time, far from home, no parole for any federal gun crime conviction.
