Our betters love gun control and don't believe that anyone committing a felony deserves to possess any, or ammo in this case.

Given how harshly "citizens" with no records are often treated for the same thing, I have mixed feelings about this case. E.g. any "citizen" of Massachusetts doing this without having a state Firearms Identification Card would be going to jail for 1 year, no judicial discretion allowed. One of the first cases was a teen who borrowed the jacket his father had used for hunting, which had a leftover shotgun shell or two.
