Criminal Charged With Smuggling Gun Onto Plane Sentenced

What is wrong with this picture? Many cities are making it harder and harder for law abiding citizens to obtain firearms, but the government is barely punishing those who break the law. Damien Young has been sentenced to just eight weekends in prison for trying to smuggle a 9mm handgun onto a plane that was to travel from Philadelphia to Phoenix, reports Philly.com.

So the question is why is Young getting a slap on the wrist. Yes, he did have a permit for the weapon, but he broke the law. Meanwhile many individuals are having a harder and harder time obtaining a permit in Philadelphia. This just isn’t justice.
