akastormi 617 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's idiots and a**holes that are gonna cause the death of my hobbies. This one cop is in the WTF section of my mind. The above the law aditude I see to often kills me. Syracuse (WSYR-TV) – A former Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office firearms instructor has been indicted on numerous illegal weapons charges. Mark Doneburgh 60, of the town of Onondaga, was indicted on charges including two counts of criminal sale of a firearm, six counts of fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon, and first degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was also charged with third and fourth degree criminal possession of stolen property. The District Attorney’s office said that Doneburgh sold two guns to investigators, which led to a search at his house. When they search his home, they found 16 defaced guns, six guns with serial numbers that were not on his permit, an assault rifle, and a gun disguised to look like a pen. He also had silencers, ammunition, and gun parts from gun manufacturer Glock - one of his previous employers - that he was not permitted to have. Gun traces of some of the weapons revealed that the guns were supposed to have been destroyed by the Sheriff’s Office. He faces five to 25 years if he is found guilty on the most serious charges.

MT Predator 2,294 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Key word "former". Why is he now a former Deputy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Actually, they're likely to come down on him harder, because he was a cop. In a book I read long ago, there was a scene where the main character ends up staring down a hired assassin. Main character asks, "Are you going to kill me, too?" and the assassin answers, "No, this is a lesson. There must always be a witness to a lesson." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I don't much see what his being a former cop has to do with it. He was a thief, a criminal. He spent time working for Glock, and for a sheriff's department. He took advantage of both positions to steal property. Sounds like a moron got caught and will spend a good portion of, if not the remainder of his life in prison. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He just had the right jobs to get the goodies he wanted. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably it was a semi-auto rifle that fits the state definition of an "assault weapon." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SOPMOD 254 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 No such thing as an "Illegal Gun" all forms of gun restriction are an infringement of the Highest Law in the Land but Embezzlement from two previous employers on the other hand is a serious offense. Straight to jail with you Mark Donutburger! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Straight to jail with you Mark Donutburger! Thank you, I cant quite grasp what's worse. The over all of what was done, or the way he came about the items. Removing firearms from an evidence room, even to transfer for distruction. There had to be others that knew he was doing that. The police have paper work up the shitter, and trasfer of ownership through the process to the steel mill they melt them down at has to be something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bambulance Man 13 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Like any other trade, you have good and you have bad. The bad usually weed themselves out eventually. This has proven to be true time and time again. I mean hey! look at my profession. Just earlier this week a medic lost his license for fingering an unconscious female patient.

This has proven to be true time and time again. I mean hey! look at my profession. Just earlier this week a medic lost his license for fingering an unconscious female patient. I had no idea that kind of thing was frowned upon. ...Just kidding of course. Everyone knows there are good and bad in every profession. There are however some professions that cannot tolerate nearly as many bad apples as others for obvious reasons. And so the question becomes...are there enough safeguards, oversight, and penalties in place to ensure that bad apples are held to an acceptable level. And the answer to that is a resounding NO.

siminov 164 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just another thief, like any other. As far as the guns go I think they should all be legal but in this situation I gotta wonder about the people willing to buy stolen guns and the fact that he was willing to supply them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he was just pointing out NY's exemptions to their AWB for being in the LE field. LE (and many other professions that fall into similar fields) are exempt from NY's ban, right up until they retire/get fired/quit/etc, etc, etc. IIRC, even paramedics and such fell into this category. NY has some crazy laws. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
