Lonny's Got A Thing For Guns Kind Of Like You Have A Thing For Tits

Poor Lonny Baxter can't help himself. The former Murland Turrpins center and NBA journeyman is obsessed with guns like Ted Nugent. Too bad a federal judge didn't share his affinity for gatling guns.

Baxter was put on injured reserve by U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail for illegally shipping firearms. He sent three guns and a rifle from Houston to College Park, MD in July 2006. He had paid for the guns but had a friend fill out the required federal registration forms. He sent them to another friend and picked them up later.

This isn't the first time Baxter has run into problems with guns. Let's not forget about him celebrating freedom a month late by shooting off a Glock near the White House in August 2006. In February of that year, he pulled off a similar firearms shipping scam to the one he was sentenced for last month.

Baxter lost his contract with a Spanish team as a result of the sentencing.

It seems obsession with stupid runs strong in Garyland. Too bad they're not lovin' their times tables and law abidin'.
