Possession of a firearm without a serial number is a crime? What about builders?

Interesting he wants more gun laws but pardons those that break existing ones.

We have a winner.I'm curious about the SN question also

Hell I was more interested about the "unregistered firearm" than the serial number, but both made me go "Say What?"

Probably an NFA firearm. I'm pretty sure that those are required to have S/Ns, even the homebrews, and they're the only guns that have any sort of Federal registration.

Thornton was sentenced to four years on probation for his gun conviction. He said his brush with the law happened in 1974 after he gave a friend a ride from Macon to Atlanta, where the friend found a gun he wanted to buy. Thornton said he loaned his friend $20 to buy the shotgun, and he decided to keep it wrapped in a towel in the trunk of his car until the friend paid him back.
Two weeks later Bibb County detectives came to Thornton’s home, he said, and found the shotgun -- which wasn’t registered and had no serial number -- in Thornton’s trunk. Thornton said he suspects his friend called the police. He said his trial in federal court lasted mere minutes.
“I found out after I was arrested that the gun didn’t even have a firing pin,” Thornton said.
The conviction kept Thornton from voting but it didn’t prevent him from being hired to decent jobs over the years. He said he worked for Georgia Power for 28 years before retiring several years ago.
Thornton said he never talked about his conviction and only his wife, a sister and a sister-in-law knew about it.
“I believe that this is one of the greatest blessings that I have ever had,” he said.

I don't see anything wrong with him getting a pardon. that could have happened to anyone. amazing how something that stupid can cause a person so much grief.

I am sure it wasnt a mistake but a stolen weapon with the SN filed off. Thats a common criminal act. You should see all the illegal aliens freed due to the gov sequestriation. Murderers and all. Crazy stuff.

More proof that they won't enforce the existing laws where real criminals illegal use a firearm, but they still want to keep them away from the law-abiding.
