Description
CARL E. STEWART, Circuit Judge: Charles Ray Polk, a car salesman for King Chevrolet in Tyler, Texas, boasted of having significant financial resources ($150 million) and the desire to blow up federal buildings and kill federal employees across the country--this despite the fact that Polk could hardly afford to pay his bills. A jury rejected Polk's argument that his ""outlandish"" suggestions were mere puffery, concluded that Polk was deadly serious, and convicted him of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction (Count 1); solicitation to commit a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 844(f) (Count 2); solicitation to commit a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 1114 (Count 3); possession (carrying) of a firearm during a crime of violence (Count 4); unlawful possession of a machine gun (Count 5); and aiding and abetting the making of a false statement to a federally licensed firearms dealer (Count 6). Polk was sentenced to 249 months' imprisonment. He now appeals.
