Kansas man sentenced for illegal machine guns

Kansas man sentenced for illegal machine guns:

LINCOLN — Richard Canfield, 32, of Overland Park, Kan., was sentenced to a year in prison after being convicted for possession of an unregistered machine gun, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Judge Richard G. Kopf sentenced Canfield Friday in U.S. District Court in Lincoln.

On Nov. 25, 2008, a Nebraska State Patrol trooper stopped a car driven by Aaron Lawless of Gothenburg, formerly of Kearney, on Interstate 80 near Odessa for traveling 81 mph in a 55 mph construction zone.

When the trooper interviewed Lawless, he found two machine guns inside the car.

Lawless’ passenger, Canfield, owned the guns, but neither gun had a serial number or was registered to Lawless or Canfield with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

If you are wondering what they were doing with the unregistered machine guns, Canfield and Lawless had been shooting them earlier near Cozad.

I wouldn't have an unregistered machine gun, but I'm sure if I was not smart enough to have one, I wouldn't be driving nearly 30 mph over the speed limit.
