He wasn't stealing 16 cartons cigarettes.
With all the "anti-gun" rhetoric spewed out these days, and 14 months is all the judicial system could do?
Not even a month per stolen weapon!
Surely this will teach young Calvin a lesson. He can think about what he did and change his ways.
Maybe he'll come out of prison and turn over a new leaf, becoming a productive member of society.
Who knows, the sentencing judge may have an extra room she can rent to young Calvin when he gets out.

Cosner's getting robbed. That's ironic considering their business model.
14 months is BS for what he did. You have the ATF threatening people with jail time if they don't turn over frt triggers or either take a brace off or register a pistol as an SBR, meanwhile Megatron Jr there gets only 14 months.

Article says 4 were found in a bag at his residence. The other 12 were located, doesn't say where, and confiscated. So, all recovered.
Local prosecutor would have gotten a longer sentence for commercial burglary. Low end on that is 2 years. Probably could have gotten him to plea to 2 years by scaring him with 12. What a weak federal prosecutor.
Federal felonies cannot be expunged. No legal firearms for him, ever. Thats worse than the 14 months.

You act like that will stop him. He will just go steal more.
His situation may just be a case of youthful indiscretion. A young man of his tender age can get caught up in a bad crowd.
He'll be on supervised probation for two years after he gets out.
You have to remember, he's really still a child at 20. If he had been 21, I'd say he's officially an adult and should have the book thrown at him.
But "20", come on, look at that baby face!
Well now that I think about it, 21 really isn't some magical number.
Thousands upon thousands of sub-21 year old young men have laid down life and limb in such conflicts as WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.
Forgive me for even mentioning this 20 year old criminal in the same post as those young men that sacrificed their lives and bodies for their country.
I agree with all here that this was far to light a sentence for the crime committed.
One question, does anyone have a link to what the prosecutor recommended for a sentence?
All I see is what the judge, an Obama appointee, handed down...

Too light of a sentence... but was it the prosecutor or the judge? Or both?

It gets even "better" (i.e. worse). Calvin was one of FIVE participants... three of which were juveniles/minors at the time!!!
Calvin and Ian Canfield were 19 at the time of the break-ins... I can't find anything on Ian's case other than he had been arrested also.
I thought in cases like this the "adults" get smacked hard for involving minors in the crime... apparently not.

5 suspects arrested in theft of 20 guns from Indiana gun shop break-in
According to a news release from the Bedford Police Department, 19-year-old Calvin Levi Johnson, 19-year-old Ian Canfield and three juveniles were all arrested in connection with the case.
His lawyer was probably garbage. The lawyer should have fought to keep it in state court. His sentence would have been a little longer but the implications on the rest of his life would have been much less. With such a light sentence it doesn’t seem like federal prosecutor cared very much. Half a lawyer probably could have got back in state court or kept it in state court. That would have probably cost $10,000 he didn’t have so he got the public pretender who just says “yea, whatever, is it 4:00 yet, I’m ready to go home.”
Git a rope.

Now he has a felony. Will never have truly gainful employment, and will most likely continue a life of crime.
