Have laws that obey the constitution? Have laws that make sense? Punish the criminals when the law abiding make it so easy with their honesty? Wow.....Still, he wasn't in SC, the laws in NY haven't been overturned....he was wealthy and stupid....3.5 is easy education. Just think if he had used that gun? What!!!!!

Why can't New York authorities stick to punishing the real criminals, like the ones who shoot guns at others or who run over their fellow human beings at Wal-Mart on black Friday!?

New York city violates the constitution with it's draconian gun laws. An American citizen should have the right to defend himself, and these pro football players are no exception. If this had happened in SC, Burriss would not be prosecuted. As for owning AK-47's, I think we all sohuld be able to own them.

If I committed the same crime, no one would be rallying around me saying it is excessive. Money should not circumvent the law. He was stupid enough to commit the crime, he should be man enough to do the time. He gets no sympathy from me. And if he gets anything less than 3.5 years, it will be just another example of how the rich gets off while everyone else have to pay the consequences. When I see you writing in defense of Tyrone who lives in Harlem, who got caught with an illegal weapon, I may think you are against this excessive penalty instead of just another person coddling another spoiled, overrated athlete. Also, I have no sympathy for Michael Vick either. He broke the law. And when you are making that kind of money and still doing thuggish things, you deserve what you get. I don't just feel this way about athletes either. T.I. should be in jail at this very moment instead of getting that sweetheart deal for having AK-47s as a convicted felon.

Funny? Yes. Sad? Hardly. Whether he goes to jail or not, what difference does it make? Give him six months, at least. He'll still come out a very rich (and very stupid) man. “Sad story”? Funny? Yes.

Guys, just because you've spent a lifetime honing a skill doesn't give you a free ride. What a stupid waste of talent....not to mention a life.... Oh well, send in the next bunch of clowns....When are the fans going to wake up to the stupidity of giving these clowns this much money and no adult leadership. And he didn't even have a get out of jail free card..... Another case of an athelete following his own council(using the little head instead of the big head)….much like Vick et.al.
