Fox News
Henry “Michael” Dwight Williams was sentenced to eight years in prison for selling a gun to a man who took four hostages at a synagogue in Dallas, Texas.
"This defendant, a convicted felon, had no business carrying – much less buying and selling – firearms," U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham said in a statement. "Whether he suspected his buyer would use the gun to menace a community of faith is legally irrelevant: In the U.S., convicted felons cannot possess firearms."
