Someone please explain how this man is going to jail after shooting himself, and the other NFL player gets to play football again after killing a man while driving drunk?

State laws. NY, my home State doesn't play when it comes to gun laws. Ironic situation, when compared to Donte Stallworth's case.

I don't see why he really going to prison for two years not like he hurt anyone besides himself? But I say he will mske a comeback

What complete nonsense. The sentence theyre giving him is suitable for someone who actually injured another person by accidely firing off his gun by accident. Seeing that no one was hurt other than Mr. Burris, the judge shouldve taken this into consideration. Instead, the idiot judge went on the stupid assumption that someone COULDVE been hurt, rather than the fact that no one WAS hurt. We have enough criminals locked up already, we don't need to add to the over crowded prison population. And WHY THE HELL should I spend my tax dollars to pay for Mr. Burris' incarceration when he could be paying a hefty fine instead?! At best, community service hours and probation wouldve been fine with me. When will these stupid judges get a brain and use some friggin common sense. Besides, how in the hell is this going to prevent anyone else from discharging a firearm in public? It's going to happen whether we like it or not. Like Burris' defense attorney said: "If this was your average joe, I doubt we would even have gotten a trial hearing. Unfortunately, my client is punished based on the circumstances of his crime, but instead on the circumstances of his public image".

Too harsh a punishment...
