This upstanding gun junkie/RWNJ got 75 months, hmm??
Sounds like an appropriate sentence for the Skunk family/campaign 2016 election conspirators.

Another failed person with a “Hero” complex.
He DESPERATELY wants to be the HERO, but is too erratic and out-of-control to accomplish any of it.
So, he flails about blaming EVERYBODY except himself for his failures.
Typical of the type.

This guy is the poster boy for the vigilante types here in AZ except his body mass index appears to be too low.

Beat me to it!
Years earlier, while serving in the Marines, Pratchard was convicted in a military court of using and distributing ecstasy.
He should have stuck with the ecstasy.

It’s not just prowling the border. Gun fetishists are literally prowling everywhere and want to be able to prowl everywhere looking for a chance to use their guns. That (and racism) are precisely what Stand Your Ground laws are all about. It’s also what concealed carry is all about, because they don’t want any sight of their weapon deterring a confrontation in which they might get to use it.

On a scale of child sex trafficking prostitution (12 months part-time jail) to illegally voting (8-years), what this guy did was nearly as bad as voting illegally. Okay, got it.

Separately, as he discussed one of the gun sales with the government source, he allegedly expressed concern about “sheriffs and fucking federal law enforcement” finding out.
Tell me again how this is all about defending the Rule of Law at the border?

first time out with the militia, and he was not allowed back,
A guy kicked out of a militia for being a loon… that ought to suffice for insanity defense…
