The person y’all are talking about is a good man. He has put a lot of people to work that needed jobs. He has also helped a whole lot of people in the community out. I don’t know what happened or what was said because I was not there but the one thing I can say about Randy is that he is a good family man and a good person knowing him if this did happen he was just trying to help someone out. I’m praying for you and your family

Mark is exactly right…Sims says he knows guns…then buys guns with altered serial numbers and the AR-15 for $175.00 and is going to say he did not know!!! Seriously?? Anyone that comes up to me with an AR-15 and only wants $175…I am calling Law Enforcement! You can’t buy an AR Upper for $175…much less a working firearm. Anyone…that is Anyone…they buys a firearm without checking the Serial Number is loco. Unless I know the seller very well, the Serial Number is going to be checked by Law Enforcement before I will buy it in a private sale! I would say the chance he did not know is about 1 in 10,000,000….

talk about standing up for your rights : investigators came to our house at 10:00 pm and woke us up only to find out they had the wrong house because the thief said he sold me the guns. thought I was going to have to take my wife to hospital with chest pains. and all because a crook told them I had bought the guns . still mad about it but can u do, as they say u cant fight city hall.

The seller needs to be hauled in, and unless this guy just fell off the turnip truck he knows there aren’t any great deals like that…get real..he knew he was purchasing stolen property.

I’m sorry people but Mr. Sims is just as guilty as the guy who stole the weapons originally. If you “know about weapons and their value”, and someone you do not know is offering you a “deal”, you can probably bet something is not on the “up and up”.

“Knowing about firearms” and not checking and noticing the serial numbers were altered or filed off? My guess is he SAW, but didn’t care because he was getting such a good deal, and who’s going to catch him?

If I’m buying a used weapon, you can bet I’m going to strip and inspect if for damage before buying it, and I don’t claim to have “knowledge” as Mr.s Sims did.

Bottom line: He (probably) knew, but just didn’t care because he was getting such a good deal.

Those of you defending him, are no better than him. Everyone thinks they can hide behind “I didn’t know!”

Use some common sense people!

He didn’t know the guns were stolen, the Christmas present part is the last thing that needs to be brought up in this “federal investigation.” Why not drag the real person that got the gun from the thieves name in the dirt rather than Mr. Sims.

Looks like arresting the wrong guy for theft is becoming a trend! Once the cops get it for you, they let the real thieves and drug dealers walk, so long as they testify against the one they want!! Our rights people!! We gotta stand up!! Soon!

Yeah, I like giving my family stolen goods for Christmas.

What better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than by encouraging theft?

Sounds like you arrested the wrong person. Why is the seller of the guns not named or still out there selling guns probably to a person who really doesn’t need one? Anyone could have easily made the mistake Mr Sims did.

The seller of these guns is where the problem is. Or was this a setup by law enforcement? The seller is conviently unnamed.
