CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire man convicted of amassing an arsenal of weapons has been sentenced to 37 years in federal prison.

Attorneys for Ed Brown had argued he suffers from a delusional disorder and asked for the minimum mandatory of 30 years.

Prosecutors sought a sentence of almost 50 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge George Singal found Brown competent and sentenced him Monday to 37 years, saying he found Brown "unrepentant."

Brown and his wife, Elaine, were in a nine-month standoff with authorities in 2007 after they were sentenced to five years in prison for tax evasion.

4. "a delusional disorder .." isn't that the definition of the repuke party?

Give him life. Maybe 37 years WILL be life. What a turd. This is almost comical, as "...a delusional disorder..." is what I think of whenever I hear ANY of these right wing nut balls, including the repuke politicians speak. I often wonder how they can be so out of orbit.

5. or Terrorists

Some might say the wacks that flew those jets into the towars are a bit 'delusional'. Of course I feel that way about anyone who kills someone else (sans self-defense). They would all get off as having some sort of Mental Disorder.

Two down...send them to Quantanimo.

7. The terrorists are the ones who wanted to break down their door

to fund wars in other countries, and buy dozens of million dollar machines (per airport) that are useless because the person manning it doesn't give a shit, and it's the only job they could find that pays anything close to a living wage.
