Multiple Men Sentenced to Federal Prison for Illegal Firearm Possession

Recent federal and state court cases have resulted in significant prison sentences for individuals convicted of illegal firearm possession as felons. In Washington, D.C., Tre Enrique Jackson received a 58-month sentence after police found a loaded ghost gun in his home, marking a repeat offense. In Illinois, Kyle Bond was sentenced to 150 months in federal prison for possessing multiple firearms, including unregistered and serial number-obliterated guns, despite a prior felony conviction. Authorities emphasized that such prosecutions aim to protect public safety by keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals. In New Mexico, Christopher Vega, identified as a habitual offender, was sentenced to ten years in prison for being a felon in possession of a handgun and receiving stolen property. These cases reflect ongoing efforts by law enforcement and prosecutors to address gun violence and enforce firearm restrictions on convicted felons.
