The goal was to increase the Connecticut White Wolves' presence in the white supremacy movement by selling guns to an associate of the Ku Klux Klan.

But the associate was an FBI informant, and all the plan accomplished was landing three suspected Wolves members and followers in federal prison.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall sentenced the last of the trio, William Bolton, 32, a U.S. Army and Navy veteran formerly of Milford and Stratford, to 30 months in prison. He previously pleaded guilty to plotting the robbery of an Ansonia weapons collector and to selling a sawed-off rifle to a convicted felon.

"He's not a bad guy," attorney Alexander Schwartz said of Bolton, his client. "It's unfortunate he got wrapped up in Alex DeFelice."

1. Gun laws being enforced....criminals caught.

[gejohnston]

2. Are you making a sales pitch for better safes or alarm system?

or not telling the world about your collection? If so, I'll give you a half rec.

[Hoyt]

3. Now we'll have to read a bunch of posts criticizing the FBI for "harassing" gun owners.

[spin]

4. I don't think honest gun owners are upset when the FBI catches ...

a criminal. From the link in the OP:

Honest gun owners do not support the straw purchase of firearms, gun smuggling, selling illegal firearms or robbing gun collectors.

We do support effective law enforcement, but we do not support the ATF allowing gun smugglers to buy firearms from gun stores and smuggling them into Mexico.

We enjoy the hobby of shooting and the right to own firearms as an investment and for hunting and self defense. We realize that when criminals or people with severe mental issues misuse firearms, our hobby is threatened. Therefore we agree that existing laws should be enforced.

Don't let your hatred of guns turn into hatred of honest gun owners.

5. Like I've said, not all gun owners are like you.

[Katya Mullethov]

6. If only they could be like you

Tell us the story about making that dual wielding cowboy cry again Uncle Hoyt !

[Hoyt]

7. You'll have to remind me which cowboy -- encountered a bunch of em from my days on the range.

[gejohnston]

8. most important thing I learned on the range was, while everything may be bigger in Texas,

everything is better in Wyoming

11. Just pick one

They're all the same anyway .

10. But I would say most are.

[spin]

15. Thanks for the compliment but ...

the overwhelming majority of the shooters that I have known through 45 years of shooting have held very similar views to mine. We support police efforts to stop gun smuggling and the illegal sale of firearms. We do not support supremacist organizations or any extreme militia groups who plan terrorist activities or rebellion against the government.

Many of the shooters I have personally known are cops or retired police officers.

9. And your point is...

Oh that's right, you don't have one.

Criminals caught doing criminal things.

[Atypical Liberal]

12. Hooray!

FBI catching racist criminals! Good job FBI!

[Glassunion]

13. "White supremacists associate" ?

Is that an official job title or is this what we are calling ass holes now a days?

Stupid political correctness...

[DWC]

14. Law breakers caught and brought to Justice.

Sounds like the system is working just fine to me.

Semper Fi,

[Francis Marion]

16. Sawed off rifle?

Dumb. That's what pistols are for.

If a felon just HAS to have a firearm, it may as well be a messed up rifle.
