uma: eric, they want to send a strong message. >> they should send a strong message. uma: airing rick, go ahead. >> a pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood. that is the point the government wants to do. i agree with everything fred is saying. you don't buy cigarettes for mine morse. -- minors. however the government will have a difficult situation trying to get conviction in this case. normally the fed indict you by information they have done their homework. in this case the allegations, these are allegations. the guns were purchased in 2010. there are no eyewitnesses. time is always a defendant's friend. there are eyewitnesses that weren't interviewed. how are they going to prove in a court of law she was there and that she knew that he was a felon and that she purchased these weapons for him? and that is the problem the prosecution will have with this case. they shouldn't, you should not purchase weapons for a felon but they're going to have a difficult time trying to prove and trying to prosecute this case. in the new york case that is it class e felony. that is the lowest level of felony.
