Charges involving holding, buying, selling or manufacturing firearms like guns are serious felonies in California with harsh punishments. Most gun law violations, whether state or federal, carry heavy fines and/or extended jail sentences. Defendants usually have a lot of evidence against them, making it hard for them to get away with an unfair penalty. The federal government foresaw a rise in state and federal charges in February 2023 when it presented its first thorough analysis of gun-related crimes in the country in more than 20 years. In most situations when there are serious allegations involving firearms, the prosecution needs to go for the maximum penalty. You need a seasoned defense team from Kareem Law APC at the defense if you are being investigated, arrested, or charged.
The three common charges in federal gun crime cases:
- It is illegal for any individual to craft, import, or trade-in guns without a proper license.
- It is illegal to ship firearms as a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector.
- It is illegal for anybody without a permit to purchase a weapon in one state and then move it to or sell it in another, state.
Possible penalties in state and federal gun crime cases.
The penalties that are at risk in federal gun crime prosecutions vary depending on the particular offense (or charges) that are implicated. There are statutory penalties and maximum jail sentences of five or ten years for most infractions of 18 U.S.C. Section 922 and other federal gun regulations. Nevertheless, the maximum term for some gun offenses is 20 years. In addition, if a handgun is used in conjunction with the conduct of another federal felony, the maximum sentence might be 30, 40, or even 50 years, or even life.
