In New Orleans , a guy named George Peterson , 60 , got sentenced on January 9th by Judge Jay C . Zainey . He ' s gonna do 2 years in jail and then be on probation for 3 years . Oh , and he also has to pay a $100 fee . Why? Well , turns out he had an unregistered firearm silencer , which is against the law . The Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives ( ATF ) found it during a search of his place , where he also ran a gun business called PDW Gun Solutions LLC . They checked out the silencer and saw that it had been used to fire ammo . And get this , Peterson didn ' t even have it registered like he was supposed to . The ATF handled the investigation and Assistant U . S . Attorney David Berman is prosecuting the case . This is all part of a program called Project Safe Neighborhoods ( PSN ) , which is all about reducing violent crime and making our neighborhoods safer . The Department launched a new strategy for it in May 2021 .
