McGinty pushed back at that argument,Wholesale Jerseys Outlet, saying his client was not selling guns "willy-nilly" but to a celebrity who he expected would use them responsibly. He also noted that Oscar Hernandez was a first-time offender.
U.S. District Court Judge William Young,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, in sentencing Oscar Hernandez, said shipping illegal guns is among the most severe crimes the federal court deals with. He said Hernandez had only compounded that crime by lying and encouraging others to lie under oath about it.
