Defending Against Harsh Gun Violations Penalties
Being charged with a federal weapons violation is a serious crime. Depending on the specific situation, such as how the gun was being used and the exact charge, the penalties can vary. But almost all firearm offenses under federal laws are felony level and have severe penalties.
A typical federal gun violation is punishable by five years to life. When a violent crime or drug trafficking is involved, imprisonment often doubles to 20 years. Subsequent offenses or violations involving a machine gun can lead to life in prison.
