A Flint man who allegedly broke into homes on the city's east side and stole guns to sell on the street has pleaded guilty in Flint U.S. District Court.
Robert Burton, 33, pleaded guilty in September to felon in possession of a firearm. However, details of his crime have just recently been made public in recent days when prosecutors and his defense attorney filed sentencing memorandums in the case.
He was arrested after authorities said he sold a gun to an undercover officer and then traded another stolen gun to cover the cost of a tattoo, the sentencing memorandums show.
In August 2014, Burton sold a .357 revolver for $250 to an undercover cop, according to court documents.

He must be white that the Fed's actually stuck him with the Federal charge.
They could put thousands of Obama's constituents in prison for the same crime if they were so inclined. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? � Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
