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):

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.
