Regarding your recent article titled “Two Suspects Arrested for Allegedly Stealing Nine Firearms From an Onalaska Residence”:

This is how illegal firearms end up in the hands of criminals.

They should not be allowed to down plea firearm theft and should be given minimum two years in jail.

They are the ones that supply guns used in murders and mayhem and should be made examples of.

Judges and prosecutors should realize that mollycoddled firearm thieves are the problem, not legal gun owners.
