I was interested, so went and checked out the filing for this [1], it looks like he only got hit with the possession with intent to distribute, with the other 3 charges (including 'possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number') being dismissed.

Marijuana and honey oil. He watched too much Trailer Park Boys and got caught.

He took a plea deal, might have beaten the charges at trial, but the consequences of losing were way too high for him, can’t really blame him.

Are you sure that's the same case? That links says, "Last Updated: Oct. 7, 2022, 6:14 a.m." and the defendant name is different from in the OP.

This appears to be the actual case: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69482949/united-states-...

You're both right, but your comment is confusing the issue. You're linking to the relevant case for TFA, whereas parent is linking to the relevant case for this thread regarding FPSRussia.
