Some bad, bad news. LAV is going to prison for some machineguns. It baffles me that Vickers and crew thought they could import MGs and not have the feds on their ass. All guns laws are unconstitutional.
Now LAV gets his reward for years of loyal service as one of the .GOVs most elite attack dogs. I feel really bad for Larry who has been fighting cancer and a divorce. Sorry LAV, you can’t have MGs. we only give those away to Ukrainian civilians not Ex- Delta Force.

In addition to the indictment, Larry Vickers pleaded guilty yesterday to participating in the conspiracy to import and obtain machineguns and other restricted firearms and admitted that he received some of the imported machineguns and other weapons. As detailed in his plea agreement, Vickers kept some of the machineguns and other restricted weapons in his personal collection and transferred other machineguns and restricted weapons to other FFLs and third parties. Vickers also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to violate U.S. sanctions against a foreign firearms manufacturer between July 2014 and March 2021, in the Southern District of Florida.
Vickers faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for conspiracy to violate federal law regulating firearms and a maximum of 20 years in federal prison for conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. U.S. District Judge Julie R. Rubin has not yet scheduled sentencing for Vickers.
If convicted, Sullivan, Tafoya, Hall, and Sawyer face a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for conspiracy to violate federal law regulating firearms and for each count of false statements related to submission of a law letter. Sullivan and Tafoya face a maximum of five years in federal prison for each count of unlawful importation of a firearm and for each count of making a false statement in records maintained by FFLs. Sullivan also faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison for unlawful possession of unregistered machineguns and 10 years in federal prison for using criminal proceeds to conduct financial transactions. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Sullivan and Tafoya have already had an initial appearance U.S. District Court in Baltimore and were released pending trial. Hall and Sawyer are expected to have an initial appearance at a later date.”

If you are high profile in the Gun Community you are more likely to be looked at carefully by those that serve the King and his Barons.
If you, like LAV, decide not to comply with unconstitutional laws, you had best be willing to pay the price.
In this case, jail.
Sometimes it’s death.
Vickers’ took big risks knowingly and repeatedly, and he may well have been ratted out by someone who had to make a choice…roll over on someone bigger or ten years in the Pen.

Thanks for posting this follow-up, Shawn. I was thinking about Vickers’ case a month or so ago and couldn’t find any updates. I had been under the impression that it was more of a paperwork dispute, but it looks like they really have him pegged on some black-letter stuff (whatever you think of the letters themselves). Too bad.

Probably thought he was bending the law or that it was more a technicality and wouldn’t draw as much heat as it did.
Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if it was but they’re tying him up over it since he is a big personality in the gun community and this was another “look what we can do to you” moment from the feds.

Now he knows what years of being an elite attack dog for ZOG gets him
