“In Arizona, the general statute of limitations for misdemeanors is one year, while the generic limitations period for felonies is seven years.”
It seems that he just got away with it, because the general statute of limitations is seven years, unless there are some special circumstances involving federal crimes. He waited until now to run for the senate until he could no longer be prosecuted. If the feds can prosecute him instead maybe he’s not so lucky.
But whether or not he gets a conviction – how messed up is the fact that a guy who is running on a gun control platform tried to obtain a firearm – an “assault weapon” as they call it – illegally? How hypocritical must people be to vote for someone like that.
