I hear that but Tip had an arsenal of guns. New York laws may be stricter, but let's not ignore that Tips collection didn't just consist of your average hand gun.
They reported that he was facing 10 for what he had, just until 2015 you could walk into Walmart and cop M16s and AR4s and shyt.
Not enough with that he still got a bunch of different penalties, he also had the mayor, UN-ambassadors, 100 officials and on speaking up for him. The guns were also never on him or outside, they were hidden in his house and an attempt to purchase.
I'm not a lawyer, but I look at what people are facing, what they receive and what others in the same "jurisdiction" receive. Can't say he had 1 gun, he had many guns, he should get more. Where were the guns? Which state was it in? federal or not? Support, judge, DA and all that shyt plays a major part.
