Ludco owner going to meet Bubba

[dagibson1507]

Looks like hes getting 3 years in a plea agreement, 4 years supervised release after that and a yet to be determined fine. Wonder what happens to all 4276 guns they seized. Hopefully they action them off instead of destroy them or run them across the border.

As far as the guns go........... I still want to know what happened to
guns that were not part of Fred's inventory (if any) that were there on consignment for sale or there for smith work.

He was just sentenced. Four years in the pokey and three of supervised release. The guns, ammo, and cash get forfeited. Sorta feel bad for the guy but it sounds like he was doing some bad stuff.

That kinda pisses me off on the seizure... Why does the govt. just get all that? If they didnt want him to possess firearms any more they should have had them auctioned off and let the proceeds go to his legal defense or family... I don't know the guy or the shop, but that whole concept of the govt. takes your stuff if you get in trouble irks me,.

I would also like to know. Do the owners of firearms left their for repair or consignment sales have any recourse to getting their property back?

A friend of mine had his shotgun taken during the ATF's raid. It was at Ludco when he had set up a trade deal for a handgun and had left the shotgun and some money for a layaway plan until he got paid.

Ludco never said anything to him about it after he was released from jail. When my friend called the ATF number they gave him another number to call which left him on hold for as long as he stayed on the phone.

My cousin had made a down payment for a Remington 700 he had ordered from Fred and was actually supposed to pick it up on the day of the raid. He told me he got his money refunded back when he went to Fred and demanded for it.

Feel bad for the people losing their guns and that is about it. Its almost sweet justice for old Fred for all the screwing he did to people along the way.

If Fred gets that amount of punishment what will Eric (Holder) get?...............................

A raise

They will probably all be melted down....

 

[Ogre]

Nah, they won't melt them down, they will file the SN's and ship them south of the border.

I feel no sympathy for the guy getting his guns confiscated and him losing that $$, you shouldnt profit from illegal activity.

If you want to auction them fine, but do it for charity not for him or his legal defense.

My issue is if they do not give guns back to their rightful owners who had nothing to do with this raid. Unless the shop never logged anything in and they werent sure how to track people down. Who knows.
