A Flint man who allegedly broke into homes on the city's east side and stole guns to sell on the street has pleaded guilty in Flint U.S. District Court.
Robert Burton, 33, pleaded guilty in September to felon in possession of a firearm. However, details of his crime have just recently been made public in recent days when prosecutors and his defense attorney filed sentencing memorandums in the case.
He was arrested after authorities said he sold a gun to an undercover officer and then traded another stolen gun to cover the cost of a tattoo, the sentencing memorandums show.
In August 2014, Burton sold a .357 revolver for $250 to an undercover cop, according to court documents.

He must be white that the Fed's actually stuck him with the Federal charge.
They could put thousands of Obama's constituents in prison for the same crime if they were so inclined. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
