BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Latest on the sentencing of a Montana anti-government activist convicted of buying an illegal, fully-automatic shotgun (all times local):

12:45 p.m.

An anti-government activist from Montana who sought out high-powered weaponry for an anticipated second American Revolution has been sentenced to six years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Susan Watters said Thursday that defendant William Krisstofer Wolf advocated a "shocking" level of violence against law enforcement and others.


The Gallatin County man was arrested last year after buying an illegal, fully-automatic sawed-off shotgun from an undercover FBI agent in the parking lot of a truck stop. He was convicted on federal weapons charges in November. Authorities say Wolf compared shooting police to hunting gophers and spoke of dropping napalm on the county courthouse.

So he gets out in 6 years. Think his mindset is going to be any different Gov't should put a chip in him and track him once he's out.

Shotguns have one hell of a kick, with just one round.

Imagine trying to keep ahold of a fully-automatic while firing
multiple rounds. crazy shit.
