We're the Only Ones Automatically Supported Enough

llinois State Police trooper Gregory Mugge pleaded guilty to one charge of possessing an unregistered machine gun...

Mugge, 52, of Jerseyville, was indicted in January, along with Illinois State Police Sgt. James Vest, 39, of O'Fallon, and John Yard, 36, an Illinois State Police special agent...

In February, a group of 12 local police chiefs and sheriffs, and two state senators...endorsed a letter of support for the three state troopers.
Yeah, I'm sure had it been some of us mere citizens instead of "The Only Ones," the Illinois law enforcement/political establishment would have been tripping all over themselves to recommend leniency.

Ask any ATF or FBI agent your question about being a mere citizen. They WILL tell you that if any mere citizen would have been as cooperative as the Troopers were, the guns would have been seized and the "mere citizen" would have faced a misdemeanor with fine and NO FEDERAL JAIL TIME!!
