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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
