As far as the judge letting them off easy, if I had to guess I'd say it was because it was obvious that they had no firearm experience and didn't really know what they were getting themselves into as they just stole to re-sell. In my mind though, their ignorance isn't an excuse for a lower sentence and since the government loves to make examples out of people to prevent similar crimes in the future, this would have been the perfect case in which to do that.
